Continuing the Studies

In a conversation with the advisors of the General Student Advisory Service, you can confirm your choice of study and develop an individual strategy to continue your studies with motivation and success and furthermore: to complete them! Here you will not only receive tips for an effective study organization, but also information on the appropriate contact points, for example, to take motivational measures as well as to explore occupational fields of your subject and career opportunities.

The advisors of the Psychological Student Advisory Service support you in coping with university, study-related or private challenges and problems. This can mean, for example, clarifying study doubts, overcoming test anxiety, reactivating resources or expanding competencies. You have the following options in this context:

• You can visit the consultation hours if you have study-related problems or are in difficult life situations and do not see a way out on your own. There you can discuss your individual problems in a trusting and appreciative atmosphere as well as find new perspectives together. Based on this, solutions can be worked out in further discussions.
• In the choaching groups, the challenges of studying on various topics such as test anxiety or procrastination are discussed in a resource-oriented and evidence-based manner and competencies for dealing with these are developed.
• In the various lecture series you will receive impulses and suggestions, among other things, for your time management, for a burnout prophylaxis and also on the topic of learning strategies.
• The writing week supports you specifically in writing your bachelor's or master's thesis or seminar paper by giving you the use of a fixed workspace and the opportunity to exchange ideas with fellow students. In addition, you will meet experts on topics such as proper argumentation and citation, researching literature, and overcoming writer's block.

After a phase of doubt, continue your studies with motivation. A look at the possible occupational fields and personal career goals can be decisive for this. The Deparmental Advisory Services will be happy to advise you on exploring possible professions. The Departmental Advisory Services can also give tips on questions concerning starting your career and subject-specific job markets.
