Student coaching

We coach you in confidential one-to-one meetings whenever necessary. Experience has shown that the desire for such discussions arises in study situations that are perceived as crisis situations, for example in transitional phases such as the choice of subject, the transition from Bachelor to Master, Master to doctorate or (career) planning after graduation, in study/motivation crises or in exam anxiety.
