When you have loads of assignments and exam preparation, studying just in class doesn’t cut it. However, studying alone may also not be sufficient since you might have so many queries. Not to mention, studying yourself can become boring pretty fast.

So, the ideal solution is to plan a group study session with your peers beyond the classroom. Not only will all your confusions and queries be cleared but you can complete your study in a more interactive and fun way.

To help you get started, here are 5 easy steps to plan an awesome group study session Beyond the Classroom.

Step 1: Set a date and time

Planning ahead
Planning ahead (Beyond the Classroom)

First and foremost, set a date and time that works for everyone in the group. To ensure that all your peers can attend, plan the session at least a few weeks in advance. This will give all plenty of time to adjust their schedules.

Additionally, advance planning will help you to have the flexibility if something unexpected pops up. For example, if one of your peers gets sick or you have an impromptu mock test, you can postpone the date without running out of time.

Step 2: Choose a comfortable study spot

After the date and time is established, it’s time to choose a study spot. Consider the group’s size and needs when selecting a spot. It should be big enough to accommodate everyone, have access to necessary supplies and provide a comfortable and distraction-free environment.

Libraries are often a great choice for group study sessions, as they are typically quiet and offer plenty of resources. However, a secluded cafe or a friend’s house can also be a nice spot. It would be a place beyond the classroom. The change of scenario will make it more fun and enjoyable.

Step 3: Make an agenda

Creating agenda (Beyond the Classroom)

Creating an agenda is key to having an effective group study session beyond the classroom. It will help everyone to stay on task, prevent the group from getting off track, and make sure all of you are on the same page.

The agenda should include topics to be discussed, any assignments or tasks that need to be completed and a timeline of when each topic should be addressed. You can also prioritise the tasks and put a person in charge for each task. That way everyone will be involved and more engaged on the tasks at hand.

Step 4: Set ground rules

Setting rules
Setting rules (Beyond the Classroom)

While you can all have your fun and play, setting rules is a MUST to keep you all grounded. Consider the group’s size, focus and goals for the session when establishing ground rules.

You can start with rules such as banning phones, setting a time limit for each topic discussed and having an open-door policy for questions and ideas. You can also restrict any alcohol or beverages that can derail everyone’s focus.

Step 5: Take breaks

Finally, it is important to remember to take breaks during the group study session. It will give you all a chance to recharge, refresh and come back to the session with a renewed energy and focus.

Try to plan at least one break for every hour of studying. This can be used to grab a snack, take a short walk or just take a few minutes to relax and stretch. You can also play short games or quizzes to stretch your brain muscles before going back to your study.

With these 5 steps, you are well on your way to planning a successful group study session! Take the time to plan ahead to ensure that the session is productive and beneficial to everyone.

  • Meet Audrey 🌟—a future medic exploring what life could look like at #MonashUniversityMalaysia! 🩺📚

With a strong passion for medicine and a dream to one day help people, Audrey joined a campus tour and consultation to learn more about MBBS at Monash. From experiencing the lively campus atmosphere (her parents were amazed—and a little overwhelmed—by how active it was compared to their own uni days!) to chatting with staff and students, the visit gave her a real glimpse of what her future could look like in Malaysia. ✨

She was impressed by the supportive environment and gentle counselling from Monash staff, which made her even more confident about her study options ahead. And yes—she gave Monash food a glowing 10/10 review 🍜😋

Special thanks to Team #EMGA for making her visit smooth and stress-free. 💛

Curious about studying medicine in Malaysia? 🚀 Contact #EMGA to book your campus tour or start exploring your application options today! 🌟

  • Meet Elijah 🌟—now officially a Bachelor in Business Management (Hons) student at #UTP! 📚✨

Elijah admits he was super nervous at first and relied completely on Team #EMGA to guide him through his application and arrival. Even when he landed 4 hours earlier than expected for his airport pickup, he embraced the moment as the real start of his independent journey. 🛬🌏

Easy-going and full of good vibes, Elijah has always been a “go with the flow” kind of guy—but this is his boldest step yet: living and studying away from home, discovering life beyond his comfort zone. 💪

He also shares lots of love and gratitude to Ms. Amanda, who guided him to UTP and played a big role in helping him choose Malaysia. 💛

All the best, Elijah! May this new adventure be filled with growth, friendship, and countless memories #BeyondTheClassroom. 🌟

  • Say hello to Abdul Rahman from Kuwait 🇰🇼 — our humble and independent student who’s beginning his Chemical Engineering journey at #UTP! Tall, grounded, and kind-hearted, he arrived with his supportive father by his side — a family bond we truly admire. 💛

We first met Abdul Rahman and his family at the Yes2Malaysia Expo during Ramadhan, where they connected with Mr. Zamani from UTP. Alhamdulillah, that first meeting has now blossomed into a brand-new beginning here in Malaysia with #EMGA. ✨

Interestingly, Abdul Rahman is the second child in his family to study abroad. While his brother is in his 3rd year at Manipal, this time the family chose Malaysia 🇲🇾 — and they’ll be right here to support him as he begins this exciting chapter. 📚

A heartfelt thank you to the @registry.utp team, International Visa Office, and International Marketing & Admissions for their smooth guidance and warm welcome in making Abdul Rahman’s first day hassle-free. 🙌

All the best, Abdul Rahman — may your journey be filled with knowledge, joy, and memories that last a lifetime. 🌟

  • Meet Fadly 👋—our humble and easy-going student from Qatar, now starting his Foundation in Engineering at #UTP! ⚙️✨

What makes Fadly’s journey extra special? 🌟 He’s the second sibling in his family to choose Malaysia with Ms. Nisa and #EMGA! His sister Nabila is already here, continuing her bachelor’s degree—now two out of three siblings are studying in Malaysia. 💛 Such a beautiful show of trust in both Malaysia and EMGA.

In just one day, Fadly and his family completed registration, accommodation check-in, and medical (only the X-ray left for tomorrow!). Big thanks to Ms. Ain and the whole UTP team for making it all smooth and easy 🙌

We even squeezed in a quick Malaysian lunch at Bunda Restaurant in Seri Iskandar — everything really is right here at UTP! 🍴✨

All the best, Fadly — may this new chapter be full of knowledge, joy, and happy memories #BeyondTheClassroom. 🌟
