Doubts about your studies: reflection and orientation
Prospects for study and career
Your fellow students are thriving in their everyday student life and you are wondering whether you are in the right place, whether your degree programme was a good choice?
Have you lost your motivation, are you perhaps facing your third attempt?
The College Student Counselling Service offers tailored information and counselling to anyone looking for a new direction during their studies – especially if you are having doubts about your decision to study. In a one-to-one counselling, we will explore your doubts and uncertainties and discuss possible options. We will accompany you with questions, food for thought and an open mind on your way to finding the right solution for you. To arrange an individual counselling appointment, please send an email with your request to kerstin.papenberg@leuphana.de. We will be happy to accompany you on your path and put you in touch with contacts from our network.
Below you will find information and a brief introduction to the network that was developed during the project "Region der Chancen - Perspektive für Studium und Beruf" (Region of Opportunities – Prospects for Study and Career). The project ran until 2021 and was funded by the “Allianz für Fachkräfte Nordostniedersachsen” (Alliance for Skilled Workers in North-East Lower Saxony) with EU and state funds.
Please feel free to contact us if you are unsure whether and how you would like to get in touch. We will be happy to help you with your decision and, if necessary, with establishing contact.
Are you a student at the Graduate School? Then please also take note of the student advisory services for Master's programmes, which you can find here.
