RECORDING: Memorisation Skills Workshop - Part 1
Workshop Description
Stop studying harder. Start memorising smarter.
Ever spend hours studying, only to sit down for a test and realise you can’t remember what you studied? The problem may not be how hard you are working—it may be how you are trying to learn.
This interactive, science-based workshop is designed to help students understand how memory works and discover practical techniques they can use to learn, retain and recall information more effectively.
In Part 1 of the Memorisation Mastery series, you’ll explore how your brain takes in, processes and stores information, identify your learning preferences, and build your own Memory Toolkit using proven study strategies.
What You’ll Learn
🧠 Understand Your Memory
Discover how sensory, short-term/working and long-term memory work—and why understanding the memory process can change the way you study.
🔍 Discover How You Learn
Explore different learning preferences and identify strategies that may work well for you.
🏰 Master the Method of Loci (Memory Palace)
Learn how to use familiar places, visualisation and imagination to create powerful memory associations.
🧩 Use Chunking to Tame Information Overload
Break large amounts of information into smaller, more manageable pieces that are easier to process and remember.
💡 Create Powerful Mnemonics & Acronyms
Turn difficult lists, concepts, sequences and terminology into memorable words, phrases, stories and associations.
🗺️ Build Better Mind Maps
Learn how to organise information visually, connect ideas and create study summaries that support understanding and recall.
🔄 Use Spaced Repetition
Discover how reviewing information at strategic intervals can help you retain knowledge for longer.
🎯 Practise Active Recall
Move beyond simply rereading your notes and learn how to actively retrieve information from memory to strengthen your learning.

Expect More Than Just a Presentation
This is an interactive workshop. You’ll participate in activities, test your memory, explore different techniques and practise strategies during the session—not simply listen and take notes.
By the end of Part 1, you’ll have a range of practical memorisation strategies that you can begin using in your studies immediately.
And There’s More...
Part 2 of the Memorisation Mastery series takes these skills further by showing you how to apply memory techniques to real academic subjects, develop lifestyle habits that support memory, explore useful memorisation tools and apps, and build habits for long-term academic success.
Your brain is built to learn. The key is learning how to work with it.
