1_The study skills required for success at university

To be successful at university, students have to master some skills, such as believing in themselves.  If a student believes in himself, he can also learn more and attain more than he can imagine.  In my case, for example, I knew from the beginning that I would like to spend a semester abroad, especially in England, even if my English level (of speaking and writing) is not perfect. I believe that if someone wants to do something, he can; people just need to be brave to ask if they need help, because only through this way you can reach your goals.  As a result of this, I have also made good progress since I have come here, and was able to make friends quickly.

In the first 2 weeks, I wanted to do certain subjects at Coventry University to strengthen my programming skills, so I was looking for programming languages, at the end I chose C ++ and Python.

However, what I would like to improve is, learning more about programming and practicing it more. So far, I have taken just one test in Writing for business, which went very well. I need to improve and do better in the second phase so I will start learning early for the exam, and focus on the exam topics.
