Student Counselling

The marks have been announced: what now? You can find all the options in this flowchart (in Dutch).

Higher education at an academic level differs from secondary education in many ways: processing larger amounts of study material, learning to work more autonomously, getting used to new teaching methods, developing the right study method, making a good study plan, etc. Especially in the first year, this is a big adjustment and often a difficult search. The student counsellors can help you with this search.

As a higher-year student, you can also contact the student counsellors with questions about your study method or planning, or if you get stuck with your bachelor's or master's dissertation.
