Topic outline

  • 2. Study Ability and Wellbeing

    Study ability is a student's work ability. Study ability is relevant for study results, student well-being, and study progress.

    Promoting study ability improves study progress, expertise, employability and working life, but also community activity and atmosphere. A study community which cares for study ability creates a positive circle, where the well-being and enthusiasm of staff and teachers is passed on to students and vice versa, thereby spreading to the whole community.

    Many different factors influence study ability. Societal structures and decisions, actions by management and personnel, student associations, as well as each individual in the community.
