Principles of study counselling
🙊
We advise you confidentially: Absolute confidentiality is a matter of course. Even within the university, no one (such as examination offices and professors) will hear about your concerns and problems without your consent.
🗺️
We advise you open to results: The decisive factor is what suits you in your individual situation. It doesn't matter whether your path will continue to lead you to the HNU or it will lead you elsewhere.
🎁
We provide free advice: Like all the advisory services offered by the HNU, studeny counselling is completely free of charge.

In doubt about your studies and dropping out
Are you having problems with your studies, are you in doubt about your choice or are you thinking about dropping out of your current studies?
Many different questions can arise: Is there an alternative degree programme for me? Is vocational training the better choice for me at the moment? Where can I find suitable and vacant training places? How do I design a good and meaningful application? Where can I find further help?
For an initial overview of your situation, the study counselling service is the right place to go.You can talk to them to find out whether you still have a chance of successfully completing your studies, whether it makes sense for you to change your degree programme - depending on your life goals. And find out whether you really need to study or if there are alternative ways to achieve your goals.

Advice on dropping out of university and acquisition of vocational training. Successfully implementing skills from your studies even after dropping out
Advice on alternative career opportunities and coaching for students who are desperate to study and students who are about to drop out of their studies.
A higher education entrance qualification and time spent studying will help you advance professionally. Skills acquired during your studies are the basis for successfully passing a vocational training course and for taking further training examinations.
There are various ways to successfully apply the experience and skills you have acquired in vocational training.
We are happy to advise and support you
- Initial interview about your profile: Your qualifications, your motivations, your ideas and the requirements of dual training.
- Application process: Review of application documents, assistance with research for internships and training, information on job interviews and assessment centres.
- Planning your training and postgraduate studies: Recognition of qualifications acquired during studies, advice on financing and funding opportunities (e.g. Aufstiegs-BAföG), shortened training opportunities.

Dropping out of university - Chance for change: Consultation about dropping out of university at the IHK Ulm
Studying is not the right thing? Is it possible to have a career without studying? And what prospects does dual training offer?
The decisive factor is that dropping out of university does not mean the end of a successful future. On the contrary, dual training offers a good alternative. It is about showing you opportunities to make a career in the education system that is right for you.
To this end, Ms Sibel Elshof supports drop-outs and those who are in doubt about their studies by offering advice on new perspectives, analysis of skills, advice on dual training occupations or courses of study, information on vacant training places and information on shortened in-company training. The counselling session will be adapted to your needs.
