Get study guidance and support in your career choices from our study and career advisers. Who you should turn to depends on which faculty you are studying at.

  • Have I chosen the right programme?
  • What should I consider when choosing a course or specialisation within my programme?
  • My studies are not going well – what should I do?
  • Questions on suspension or interruption of studies
  • What does the labour market look like for me after graduation?
  • What are my competences and strengths?
  • How should I think about my career choice?
