Study guidance
If you have questions about your current education and future career paths, a study counsellor can help you. Who you should turn to depends on what you are studying.
Find your study counsellor
At the University of Gothenburg, there are study counsellors linked to different programmes and departments. You can find contact details for the study advisors in your subject under the information from faculties and departments on this page.
There is also a general study guidance service at the University of Gothenburg. They can help you with general questions about university studies and choosing a programme. More about general study counselling can be found at gu.se.
How study counsellors can help you
In guidance sessions, you can ask questions about your studies and discuss your study situation. This can include planning your studies or thinking about your future career.
The guidance is always based on your needs, wishes and possibilities. You can get support in finding new perspectives, trying out different ideas, exploring your options, and making decisions about the best way to move forward. Study advisors are bound by confidentiality.
