PASS program: Join a study group for your course
Studying's essential for your success, so why not study in a group led by someone who recently achieved great marks in this unit?
PASS sessions are run for challenging first-year undergraduate units. All students are welcome - whether you are struggling, doing okay, or are a high achiever. Sessions are free and it's your choice to attend.
Studies show students who regularly attend PASS significantly improve their final grade and make friends. PASS helps you to revise unit content, get to know your classmates, ask questions in a low stress environment, and prepare for exams and assessments in a fun way.
