Academically, university life is often very stressful and overwhelming for students. Students’ intense workload and course and study requirements can be extremely challenging.
Being in the unique position of working closely with students, we (the founders of Pro-Study) we listened to their study and writing challenges and created a product that would enable them to collect and organise their research in an accessible and easy to use format. Pro-Study and the companion app Project Assist has been helping students to reduce the stress associated with university work since 2016.
Pro-Study supports the student’s study strategies such as organisation and time management, project management, exporting research into Word, and accurately creating a bibliography taking the stress out of referencing.
Tested and proven, Pro-Study is used by over 20,000 thousand higher education students in the United Kingdom. It is an approved Assistive Technology software in the government funded Disabled Student Allowance (DSA) scheme. It has been purposely developed to help students who may face challenges with their university work and also those with additional needs.
