Study counselling
If you have questions about your current education and future career paths, a study counselor can help you. Who you should turn to depends on what you are studying.
What is study counselling?
In counseling sessions, you have the opportunity to ask questions about your studies and discuss your study situation. For example, a session could be focus on planning your studies or what you want to work on in the future.
The guidance is always based on your needs, wishes and possibilities. You can get support in finding a new perspective, testing different ideas, finding out what options you have and making decisions about how best to proceed. Study advisors have a duty of confidentiality.
