Study Hacks - How to be more productive:

Struggling to create a presentation? Word can create one for you automatically.

  • If you have all the necessary information on a Word document (open on a Web browser), all you have to do is select file - export - export to a PowerPoint presentation (see how here: Export a Word document to PowerPoint).

Trying to write an essay and feeling stuck?

  • Chewing gum can help you concentrate.
  • Take a break, dance to your favourite song for 5 minutes, go back to your essay.
  • Choose different methods to study:
    • is there a podcast that covers what you're studying?
    • is there a documentary you can watch? Ted talk?
    • study in a group via Zoom.

 

                        Money Advice                        

City’s Students’ Union is independent from the University and provides free, confidential and non-judgement money advice.

Just like our Academic Advice team, our friendly money advice team can advise City students on:

  • Short-term loans
  • Budgeting and money management
  • Other specialist services for financial support

You can book an appointment with an Advisor via our Case Form on this page.

As Students' Union staff are home working, appointments will be provided via Microsoft Teams. You will be provided with joining instructions once you receiving your appointment booking email.
