Student and Learning Track Counselling
Faculty
Student Counselling Service
The Student Counselling Service consists of student counsellors and learning track counsellors who work both individually and in groups. Students can find more information about the offer (workshops, information sessions, …) and documentation (handouts, planners, …) on Ufora ('Monitoraat Letteren en Wijsbegeerte - AX00004' (in Dutch) ).
Student counselling
You can contact the student counsellors with general questions about your study methodology, study planning, study-related problems, help with exam preparation and feedback after the release of the exam results. You can also contact your student counsellor with questions and problems related to your bachelor’s and master’s dissertation.
Make an appointment in the online agenda of the student counsellors.
Learning track counsellors
The learning track counsellors provide students with information, advice, and assistance during their entire study career. They also act as contact persons for the various aspects of the study career: study progress, selection processes, reorientation, personalised learning tracks, curriculum composition, exemptions, education and examination code, study-related problems and more.
Make an appointment in the online agenda of the learning track counsellors.
Ombudspersons
Every (cluster of) study programme(s) has an ombudsperson you can turn to with complaints about the application of the education and examination code and about situations you experience as unfair. This can be about the regular educational activities as well as about the exams or other forms of evaluation.
Subject-specific student counselling
Within your study programme there are also tutors and teaching assistants who provide subject-specific support. It is best to contact the lecturer-in-charge for this.
