How to study well?

The student body of the University of Tartu has prepared the good practice of learning which gives a good overview of how studying at the university should be done and how to do well at the university.

Motivation is a prerequisite for good learning. However, it is a joint effort, because it is up to the student to choose a specialisation that interests them, to set their own learning goals and to actively participate in their studies, and the university supports them with well-designed teaching, guidance and counselling.
