(1)The main reasons for studying a degree at university
Many big personalities highlighted the reasons why students want to arrive for the degree at

The other main reason for entering into big university is for getting good placements as there
are good opportunities brought by universities. From entering into good universities they can easily
and quickly achieve their goals or targets. University also helps them in learning the new things,
how to work in a team together and how to complete the task. It also new opportunities to students
to learn, communicate, present themselves.
They also provide vocational training related to subjects to first year students so which
helps them in knowing in which field they want to make their career and what subject they can opt
out for second year further studies(Deming, D. J., 2017). University also helps them how to work in
corporate offices and how to use their subject knowledge practically in the corporate world.
Students also expect that their campuses would be safe and secure, sports campus, good
canteen etc. Universities also teaches various computer courses such as digital marketing, SAP,
SPSS, Tally etc. in order that students should work according to the changing environment in the
world. University also conducts guest lecture of various fields so that students can ask about their
doubts related to their subjects in order to clear their doubts and also to increase their knowledge
related to their subject.
(2)The core academic skills that can be develop and their importance
Students knowledge related to their academic career can be developed so when they enter
corporate world they can use it properly(Ruiz-Martin, C. and et.al., 2016.). University helps them to
further increase the academic skills by hiring good management faculties who can guide students to
gain more knowledge on in their respective fields.
Academic success is more important because basic concepts are based on these studies and
if they are not learned properly than it would be having further problem in tackle down the big
problems. It is also seen that people with good education and academic careers have good
employment opportunities not only in making their corporate careers but also making the new
business which are innovative and bring s the new changes in the economy.
Also, good education brings thinking habit to the students to think more and innovative
which brings the new changes in the economy. So, it also can change the mindset of the people and
changes the perspective of the people to see the world. Good academic careers also brings positive
self-esteem and positive attitude towards seeing the failures and how to learn from their failures to
take on the further decisions for their careers.

organisational plans and better prepared for their future business decisions. It has also seen that
academic careers also brings good organisational skills in an individual such as concentration,

prioritization, motivation achieve academic success(Sala, G. and et.al., 2017). Non-academic skills
such as sports also brings confidence, ability to manage stress effectively and the capacity to focus
and block out distractions. Skills such as critical thinking, decision-making, and conflict resolution
are essential for success in any walk of life.
(3)Study Plan for short term and long term goals
Long term goals are those goals which students wants to complete after certain specific
period to achieve their goals or targets whereas short term goals are daily routine goals which can
be achieved by students on daily basis and these short term goals helps student to achieve the long
term goals.
There are various other techniques to achieve the goal or target such as smart goals which
are a handy way to make sure to achieve the goals or targets. SMART means Specific, Measurable,
Attainable, Realistic and Timely to create a visual overview(Deming, D. J., 2017.). This technique
will help the student in achieving early targets or goals. Student must be specific what he has to
achieve, measure how much work is been done, goals should be attainable, they must be realistic in
order to achieve them and time should be mentioned in which it has to be achieved.
Students should celebrate their small achievements and learn what are those decisions which
helped them to achieve their targets. Even if students fail in achieving their targets than also they
should go for learning what were the bad decisions which led to non-achievement of the targets.
Also, students should boost their energy from time to time in order to achieve their targets or
goals on time and also keep them self motivate so as to achieve those targets. Students should also
prepare plan what has to be achieved when and how it can be achieved by proper making notes of
the targets that are to be achieved by them.
CONCLUSION

corporate world and help to achieve their targets more quickly as compared to others. They should
go for proper planning of the study plans in order achieve their targets. Academic skills brings self-
motivation, self-confidence in one person related to their targets. Their are different techniques in
achieving those targets such as SMART techniques, self booster, self-motivator etc.
