Abstract

The transition to university life presents many challenges for first-year students, including adapting to new academic demands, navigating social integration, and fostering a sense of belonging within the university community (Perander et al., 2021). Supervised Study, a peer-led initiative, addresses these challenges by creating a supportive, student-centred environment that leverages the power of peer interactions. Held during scheduled classes, it promotes active participation and reflection, aiming to enhance students' academic and personal development through collaborative learning and continuous self-assessment.
