Leadership and mentoring

Sign up to UQ’s Peer Assisted Study Session (PASS) program to get study help for your coursework.

Over several weeks during Semesters 1 and 2, you can attend weekly study sessions with PASS Leaders. The informal and interactive small-group sessions allow you to ask questions, get tips and information, and socialise with your peers.

PASS Leaders are high-achieving students who have recently completed the course that you’re studying. They tend not to give you answers but instead help you to arrive at your own conclusions.

Semester 1: 

• GEOS1100
