The Study Method Enhancement and Study-Related Anxiety Management courses are back

As part of the SAMBA project, Politecnico di Torino is offering the second edition of two courses designed to support students throughout their academic journey: Study Method Enhancement and Study-related Anxiety Management.

1. Study Method Enhancement Course
The course aims to provide effective and personalised tools to optimise learning abilities.
The approach adopted is practical and interactive and is tailored to the specific needs of participants in order to improve study organisation and planning.

Contents
The course will enable participants to:
  • develop skills in planning and organising their study activities;
  • understand and enhance their own learning style through metacognition;
  • acquire targeted strategies to optimise study methods;
  • take part in group work and guided reflection sessions;
  • learn effective strategies to approach exams with greater confidence and calm.
The course includes 8 sessions of 4 hours each, from February to June 2026, with two editions in Italian and two in English.

2. Study-related Anxiety Management Course
The course is designed to help students analyse and manage anxiety related to lessons and exams, with the aim of preserving performance quality and fostering the full expression of individual potential.
Through a guided pathway led by professionals, participants will learn techniques to reduce academic stress and develop a more balanced approach to university life, without giving up their personal interests.

Contents
The course will enable participants to:
  • analyse anxiety to understand whether it is impairing (actual anxiety) or positive (anticipatory anxiety);
  • learn to tolerate anticipatory anxiety by recognising it as a useful ally to mobilise concentration and cognitive energy;
  • reduce and manage impairing anxiety through techniques and strategies functional to study and university life;
  • discover the strength of group work and cooperation among fellow students, encouraging the sharing of emotions and experiences.
The course includes 8 sessions of 2 hours each, from February to May 2026, with three editions in Italian and one in English.
