Why waste all that time writing, when you can speak freely and allow your stream of consciousness to dictate the flow of your writing?

9) Microsoft Office

This is a bit of a cheat since we are talking about several apps, but for the sake of this article, let’s consider Microsoft Office itself as the app. The main three apps offered by Microsoft Office are arguably the most commonly used: Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Powerpoint. These three apps have become a staple of office work around the world, followed closely by Google Docs, Google Sheets and Google Slides respectively. And thankfully Microsoft has recently added a collaboration function to their Office apps so that multiple people can edit one document simultaneously. This makes group projects an absolute breeze!

10) Pomodoro Timer

The Pomodoro Timer app is by far the best student app. By studying in 25-minute increments, this app helps you concentrate on the work you need to get done, and helps you avoid distractions. And if 25 minutes is too long for you, you can adjust it to suit your needs freely! If you’re wondering what the word “Pomodoro” means, feel free to read our Study Techniques article to learn more!

11) Forest

The Forest app is another app that’s purpose is to keep you focused, however, this app is different in that it gives you an incentive! The app works in the same way as the Pomodoro Timer but in a more creative way. How does it do that, you may ask? By planting a tree! Anytime you want to focus on a task, launch this app and you will plant a tree to add to your “forest” on the app. As you study, as long as you have the app open, the tree, and over time the whole “forest” will grow. However, the moment you pick up your phone and switch over to another app, your tree will die. The more you are able to focus, the more trees you will collect to add to your forest!

Another fantastic reason to install this app is that the developers actually plant real-world trees around th

4) Office Lens

This app is fantastic for helping you understand diagrams that might not be clearly visible to you from your seat. You can take a picture of anything; a blackboard, a receipt, a newspaper page or a magazine article, and this app will automatically remove the glare, and any obstacles (like the back of any heads that are sitting between you and the blackboard). The app will also automatically rotate and align the image so that the subject of your image looks like you took the picture head-on. This app is ideal for when you are sitting in the far-back corner of the classroom.

5) SimpleMind

This app exists to help you organise your ideas, bring them to life and generate new ones by mapping them out in a diagram known as a mind map. The free version of this app should be more than enough for you, offering different colours of maps, pre-defined style sheets, and the opportunity to have multiple maps on a single page.

6) Mathway

For any students that use maths in their day-to-day lives, this is the best student app for you. Mathway is an app that allows you to type in an equation you are trying to solve, and it will give you the answer. And if you aren’t able to type the equation in yourself, you can take a picture of it and the app will recognise and solve it for you!

7) Oxford Dictionary of English

The absolute staple app for all students taking a language course. The Oxford Dictionary of English app is the ultimate dictionary app that helps students find definitions, synonyms and spellings of words they might not know. The app also allows you to take a picture of a word you don’t know and give you the definition of it!

8) Dragon Dictation

This app is a note-taking app that writes the text for you! All you need to do is talk into it and it will convert your speech into text that you can then save for later or paste into an email/text! Why waste all that time writing, when you can speak freely and allow your stream of consciousness to dictate the f

you’re a university student, the chances are that you also have a mobile phone. Thanks to the evolution of technology, mobile phones have gone from a luxury to a necessity. From children, to students, to adults, mobile phones have become the most useful tools in people’s everyday lives. So here are the 10 best student apps that all university students should definitely have installed already!



Applications are also being made every day to help to make people’s lives as easy as possible. This has also led to the creation of apps that focus around making the lives of university students easy and fun! Apps vary from helping students in the classroom, to helping students budget their money, to helping students organise a night out.

1) The Unicaf Mobile App

The Unicaf Mobile App, available on IOS and Android, is an app that allows you to access all of Unicaf’s desktop services from your mobile device! From applying for a scholarship to reading the Unicaf Blog, the Unicaf Mobile app makes your life easier by allowing you to do all this directly from your mobile phone!





2) RefME

This app is designed to help any student who is having trouble creating references in their bibliography. By scanning the IBAN or barcode of the book they wish to reference, RefME will generate a citation in any format you require; from APA to MLA to Chicago.

3) Notion

This note-taking app will help you organise your thoughts and allows you to take notes during your classes. However, this app’s versatility is its largest selling point. Aside from note-taking, this app allows you to create a project, organise your calendar, write a daily journal, plan travel itineraries and much more. This app does not only help you organise your uni work, but also organise your daily life as well!

And if that isn’t enough, this app allows you to synchronise your notes across devices, so you can type on your laptop, and be able to access the data on your tablet as well.

3) Eat a Healthy Breakfast

Take that extra time in the morning to fuel your body for the tasks ahead of it. Not eating a solid breakfast can lead to weakness and lack of focus in the classroom. This is not good. Take that extra time in the morning to fuel your body for the tasks ahead of it. It will help keep your mind on what’s at hand and not your growling stomach.

Also, instead of drinking coffee first thing in the morning, studies show that a large glass of water is hugely beneficial for your body. It helps to hydrate your brain cells, which are often dried after fasting for 8 hours when you were sleeping. It also helps to kickstart your metabolism and prepare you for the day. Turning this into a successful habit will have instantaneous benefits and you will notice it immediately!

4) Tackle your Biggest Task First

Waking up early gives you more time to deal with your to-do list. One of the most popular successful student habits is to deal with their largest task first. Instead of having the task looming over you for the entire day, why not get it out of the way first? This allows you to get on with all the other smaller things you may have planned for the day.

This technique can also be applied to your coursework. It is known as the “Eat that Frog” study technique, and you can learn more about it by reading our informative ‘Study Techniques for Better Learning‘ article.

5) Plan Your Day

Another successful student habit that many students tend to take for granted is planning! Organising your schedule and mapping out your day is a great way to prepare yourself for the tasks that you have to complete. The early hours foster easier reflection that helps when prioritizing your activities. They also allow for uninterrupted problem solving when trying to fit everything into your timetable.

To conclude, there are several habits you can teach yourself to become a more successful student! From waking up earlier to making sure you eat a healthy breakfast to exerci

Have you ever gone to bed at night and wondered what you could be doing to make yourself a better student? Worry not! Many students struggle with their day-to-day routines and don’t realise that a simple change in their routine could transform them into the successful student they always dreamed of being! So here are the top 5 successful student habits you could be doing to increase productivity:



1) Get up early!

Waking up early is just as important as getting a full 8-hours of sleep! Being able to motivate yourself to get out of bed is a great way to start your day. This is because it can give you that extra push to get on with the tasks you have to do.

Also, waking up at approximately the same time every day can help you hone your biological clock and get you into the correct routine. Therefore, if you don’t receive a full 8-hours rest, you will still get up and carry on with the jobs you have set yourself for that day.



2) Get your Heart rate up!

Exercise is common as one of the most popular morning student habits to start their day. Studies indicate that people who exercise regularly have improved concentration, a sharper memory, faster learning, prolonged mental stamina, enhanced creativity, and lower stress.

Unfortunately, for many of us, planning to exercise after work is a good way to make sure that you never make it to the gym. That’s why one of the main morning activities for successful individuals is hitting the gym to exercise.

Even if the thought of a 5 a.m. jog doesn’t sound appealing, try waking up 15 minutes early for a quick bedside set of pushups or stretching. It’ll help wake up your body, and prep you for your day.

3) Eat a Healthy Breakfast

Take that extra time in the morning to fuel your body for the tasks ahead of it. Not eating a solid breakfast can lead to weakness and lack of focus in the classroom. This is not good. Take that extra time in the morning to fuel your body for the tasks ahead of it. It will help keep your mind o
