Individual course counselling
The individual course counselling supports students in optimally shaping their course of study. It offers personal support in order to clarify study objectives, plan study content sensibly and identify challenges at an early stage. The aim is to ensure the success of studies and to adapt the course of studies to personal needs.
- Important topics of study counselling:
- Organisation of studies (ability to study)
- Learning and Examination Coaching for Difficulties in Studying
- Study offer, study reorientation
- Doubts about studies, motivation for studies
- Change processes, decision-making
- Psycho-social challenges during your studies
