Five tips for getting your business studies off to a flying start
If this your first taste of university life, then you may not know exactly what to expect. To help our business studies freshers get off on the right foot, we asked former students for their tips – they should help you make a good start:
Attend the introductory events.
You’ll find all the important information there, plus you’ll get to know your fellow students and make your first friendships. Don’t be intimidated: everyone feels the same at first.
Manage your time.
The first few weeks fly by and everything seems relaxed. But appearances are deceptive: precisely because time flies, it’s soon time for the first tests and coursework. Stay up-to-date and keep reading the required reading material; write summaries and keep an eye on your time management.
Contact your Students’ Representative Council.
No matter what your questions are, the HSLU Students’ Representative Council can provide you with useful tips, tricks and links on all aspects of your studies.
Exercise.
Brainpower needs balance. That’s what the University Sports Campus Lucerne is all about. With 98 different sports, 47 training sessions, 39 courses, 6 camps and 20 events, you’re sure to find something to your taste. What’s more, as well as being good for your brain and body, sport is a great way of meeting new people.
Use the library.
Whether for coursework, preparing for exams or reading around the subject, the library is the place to be. Attend a practical introduction session to help you find your way around. You’ll find all the information you need here.
Read the examination and academic ordinance.
Very important: take time to consult read the examination and academic ordinance. You’ll anyway need to do so sooner or later. It serves as a reference work, as it contains everything that’s relevant to your studies.
