Gen­eral stu­dent coun­selling

In terms of studying, you have to make some big and some small decisions for your future. Sometimes you may encounter obstacles on your way.

The Neu-Ulm University of Applied Sciences offers a wide range of advisory services so that you can take all relevant aspects into account when making your decisions. So that someone can help you if you need to avoid or overcome obstacles.

Gen­eral study coun­selling

Which de­gree pro­gramme suits me?

Especially if you still have "no plan" where your path should lead you, the General Student Advisory Service will help you to sound out the possibilities and narrow them down a bit.

What is im­port­ant to us for you?

  • 1

    We advise you confidentially: Absolute confidentiality is a matter of course. Even within the university, no one (such as examination offices and professors) will find out about your concerns and problems without your consent.

  • 2

    We advise you with an open mind: The decisive factor is what suits you in your individual situation. It does not matter to us whether, as a result, your future path will lead via HNU or whether it will continue elsewhere for you.

Coun­selling at HNU

Aca­demic coun­selling

You can find the contact persons for subject-related study guidance on the respective page of the degree programme in the section "For questions about the degree programme".

Coun­selling in case of study doubts and dro­pout

Are you having problems with your studies?
Are you in doubt about your choice of study or are you thinking of dropping out of your current studies?

A wide variety of questions can arise:

  •  Is there an alternative course of study for me?
  •  Is vocational training the better choice for me at the moment?
  •  Where are suitable and available training positions?
  •  How do I write a good and convincing application?
  •  Where can I find further help?

The right place to go
For an initial overview of your situation, the General Student Advisory Service is the right place to go. There you can find out to what extent it is still possible to successfully complete your studies, whether it makes sense for you to change your degree programme, for example, which life goals you are pursuing and whether a degree programme is really necessary for this, or whether there are alternative ways to reach your goal.

External counselling services
Another option is external counselling services for students who have doubts about their studies. Appointments are offered, for example, by the career and study counselling centre of the employment agency, bfz Kempten and the Ulm Chamber of Industry and Commerce.

IHK Ulm

Dropping out of studies - a chance for change: drop-out counselling at the Ulm Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK).

Studying is not the right thing? Can you make a career without studying? And what prospects does dual training offer?

The decisive point is that dropping out of university does not mean the end of a successful future. On the contrary, dual training offers a good alternative. The point is to show you opportunities to make a career in the right education system for you.

In this regard, the IHK supports dropouts and those who doubt their studies with a counselling offer on new perspectives, in analysing competences, counselling on dual training occupations or courses of study, information on available training positions as well as information on a shortened in-company training. The counselling appointment is adapted to your needs.

Have we aroused your interest? Then make an appointment.
