What is Student Coaching?

Student Coaching is here to support you in developing and implementing personal solution strategies tailored specifically to your needs. This can occur in a one-off personal or online consultation or over multiple sessions. What matters most is your active participation!

A Degree in it's entirety is comparable to a marathon. Athletes seek support from a coach to enhance their performance and find strategies for managing challenges. Similarly, student coaching is an opportunity to further develop your academic skills. We are your coaches! You bring your questions, observations and requests for improvement; together, we develop strategies and reflect on how implementation functions in everyday student life and what may still need to be altered or adapted. In addition to individual coaching sessions, student coaching also encompasses competence trainings in the form of (online) seminars and self-study courses (offered in German only).

All students are welcome - regardless of nationality, gender identity, religion, chronic illness, disablity or neurodivergence!
