• Which topics can I discuss?

  We support you and your concerns in these three areas: 

  Topic 1: Study progress and study goals incl. data-based visualizations

  • Personal study goals for your own study progression 
  • Visualizations of your study progress
  • Reflect on institutional and your own expectations (study success, study progress, study duration)
  • Indecision and doubt (choice of study, thoughts of drop-out, difficulty making decisions)
  • Motivation and interest in your studies
  • Reflect on perspectives and goals after graduation

  Topic 2: Individual situation

  • Recognizing, mobilizing, using own ressources 
  • Compatibility of study and personal circumstances (job, care work, other responsibilities, ...)
  • Diversity and accessible studying
  • Dealing with study-related stress (work load, stressful situations, setbacks and failures, exam anxiety, daily life at uni, …)

  Topic 3: Strategies

  • Reflect on learning strategies
  • Strategies for study organization and planning 
  • Making effective use of learning groups
  • Communicating with lecturers 

  Note: 

  Peer Student-Counseling is free of charge and voluntary. Registration is mandatory.

  Feedback and evaluation: 

  We invite you to fill out the evaluation survey and submit your feedback after the consultation session, since this is a pilot project with accompanying research. Your feedback is an essential contribution to the ongoing development of our concept.
