You can thematize your own personal concerns in an individual coaching session. For example, the possibility of taking on a new leadership role or the need to make an important personal decision could serve as a good justification for arranging a personal session. We have a selection of experts available for you in our coaching pool. Feel free to contact us, if you are interested in an individual coaching session.

For most Bachelor and Masters students, first-time participation in a career coaching session in a group or for a personal 90-minute session is free (please note that coaching is not included in most of our English Masters programmes, please contact your programme coordinator for further information). Alumni of the Professional School and external participants can also use our coaching services for a fee. Simply contact us.

Coaching is possible despite the corona pandemic. Together with the coach, it can be decided whether digital or presence coaching should take place in compliance with the rules of distance and hygiene.

The registration for the coaching takes place over the learning platform in the course "Coaching - Professional School".

Overview of coaching types in English language

Individual Coaching

Thanks to individual coaching, you benefit from a familiar and very individual counseling by your coach. For individual coaching you can select very different subject from your own personal context. Themes for single consultations can be for example time management, conflicts, deciding situation or career issues.

In one 90 minute session plus a preliminary discussion, you can plan first impulses to clarify your problems together with the coach and plan the following steps.

Tandem or Group Coaching

In tandem or group coaching, you can discuss various points of importance and contents with your coach. Looking at issues from various perspectives helps finding new solutions and positively influences one’s own performance capacities and motivation.

You can combine a tandem or group coaching for example to deal with a subject matter of your choice, and combine the 90-minutes’ coaching time available to every Bachelor or Masters student of the Professional School with your fellow students.
