The pace of university life can be fast and challenging, so it is important sometimes to slow down and make time to reflect on what you want to get out of the experience, and plan how to achieve your goals. With this in mind, Oxford Brookes has invited Grit, an external organisation that delivers personal development programmes, to provide a workshop to support you to:

  • Make connections and form new friendships (with like-minded people)
  • See new possibilities for yourself and your educational journey
  • Rekindle your motivation and find your focus
  • Develop strategies to overcome barriers

In a day of stimulating reflection, GRIT trainers will lead you through 4 areas:

  • connection
  • expectation v reality
  • goal setting
  • support

Previous students have gained a lot from Grit workshops:
“I now feel confident in expressing myself and accessing the support available.”
“The delivery method was different. Unique and engaging.”
“I am going to push myself out of my comfort zone and stop holding myself back.”
“It exceeded all expectations and actually gave me the tools and strategies to succeed where I want.”
