Continuing your studies

In a discussion with the advisors at the General Student Advisory Service, you can confirm your choice of study and develop an individual strategy to continue and complete your studies in a motivated and successful manner. Here you will not only receive tips on how to organize your studies effectively, but also information on the relevant contact points, for example to take measures to promote motivation and to explore professional fields in your subject and career opportunities.

The counselors at the Psychological Student Advisory Service support you in overcoming study-related or personal challenges and problems. This can mean, for example, clarifying study doubts, overcoming exam nerves, reactivating resources or expanding skills. You have the following options in this context:

• You can attend the consultation hours if you have study-related problems or find yourself in difficult life situations and cannot see a way out on your own. You can discuss your individual problems in a trusting and respectful atmosphere and find new perspectives together.
  
• In the coaching groups , the challenges of studying on various topics such as exam anxiety or procrastination are discussed in a resource-oriented and evidence-based manner and skills for dealing with them are developed.
  
• In lecture series , you will receive impulses and suggestions on topics such as time management, learning strategies, feelings and burnout prevention.
  
• The writing workshop provides you with targeted support when writing your Bachelor's, Master's or seminar paper. You will meet experts on topics such as correct argumentation and citation, researching literature and overcoming writer's block and can exchange ideas with fellow students.
