The study has been designed to examine the study culture, self-fulfilling prophecy, and learning skills of the students at the tertiary level. The study culture is very important for the learning of students at all levels, including primary, secondary, and tertiary levels. In the same case, self-fulfilling prophecy also enhances the learning skills of male and female students in higher education. This study has been conducted at the Hafiz Hayat Campus of the university. A survey method and a proportionate random sampling technique were used to draw a sample of 265 students. However, 235 students participated in the study. A structured questionnaire has been used to collect information from 30 students, and Cronbach Alpha has been reported to be more than .700. The study findings report that students use lecture notes, study online, and try to develop their performativity. The statistical analysis reveals that studying in groups, studying online, and studying lecture notes have favourable effects on the learning skills of students at the tertiary level. Further, communication skills and critical skills have also been found to be strong predictors of the learning skills of university students. Hence, it has been concluded that the learning skills of the students have been predicted by several factors at the tertiary level.
