Study Buddy Scheme

PSYCHOLOGY STUDY BUDDY SCHEME

At the start of each semester, all Psychology students are invited to join the Study Buddy Scheme, in which you are matched with one other student in your year or a group of students in your year (depending on your preference).  

How it works:

1. 1.  You sign up using a 2-minute form indicating some preferences for your study buddy match. The form will be emailed to you at the start of each semester. 

   2.  We match you up with a study buddy or study buddy group and email you to announce the match.

   3.  You and your buddy arrange your own meetings.

You might decide to meet up and attend lectures together, or to improve your revision (e.g., share lecture notes, summarise key points from readings,
discuss lecture content, or keep each other accountable during a weekly library session), or meet up for moral support and coffee. It’s completely up to you – hopefully you’ll find something that’s beneficial for both of you.
If you prefer, there will also be an option to be matched with other students in a small group.

Over 450 students have been matched since we started this scheme in 2022, and feedback suggested that 19 of 21 study buddies would recommend the scheme to other students.
