How do I motivate myself to study?
Remember your ‘why’
When you’re lacking the motivation to study, it helps to remember why you’re undertaking the degree or course in the first place.
Ask yourself:
Why did this type of study initially interest you?
What do you most enjoy about it?
What do you hope to achieve when you finish?
Being able to articulate your ‘why’ will help you set long-term goals. It’s one of the most powerful motivators, when you don’t feel like studying.
One key tip is to imagine your life in the future, once you’ve finished your study. Picture how your qualification will help you succeed.

I never feel motivated to study. Is this normal?
It's very normal to not feel motivated to study. It can be hard work and may initially not seem fun at all.
It doesn’t help that there are so many distractions surrounding us. We’d rather be scrolling through our phones, watching TV, spending time with friends - sometimes doing anything else, rather than study!
It is possible to kick yourself into gear and get the hard work done.
Try using the following tips and tricks to motivate yourself to study.
Set clear goals
Put together a list of goals that motivate you. These can be small goals or big goals - it’s good to have a mix of both.
Have an essay that you need to get done for an assignment? Rather than having ‘write the essay’ as a goal, break it down into smaller chunks.
Your goal for the day might be to select readings you want to reference. Then the next time you sit down for study, your task could be to pull key points out of the readings.
Bit by bit, you’ll get the essay complete.
It may even be helpful to set up a vision board, so you have something to look to when you’re lacking motivation.

How can I get motivated to study for exams?
This method is also helpful for exam planning.
like an essay, you can break an exam down into smaller pieces. Setting a section to study for each session will make the overall exam seem a lot less daunting.
, you'll be required to complete assessments for most subjects, rather than exams.
This is so you can receive early and ongoing feedback while studying a particular unit.
