Student guidance

Objective

The objective of the Student Counsellors' Office at Health is to provide collective and individual guidance to all students at Health to support a good course of study.

A good course of study is characterised by students experiencing:

  • A sense of community on the degree programme, academically and socially
  • Being competent students, even when challenges arise
  • Progression in their course of study

Students

The Student Counsellors' Office exists to help students when they meet challenges in student life or want to take advantage of some of the opportunities of being a student.

Students can use the collective or individual services offered by the Student Counsellors' Office.

They mostly concern:

  • Planning of studies
  • Study techniques
  • Student well-being
  • Delay guidelines
  • Clarification of competencies
  • Sparring regarding choices during the degree programme.

Lecturers and course coordinators

Lecturers can refer students to the Student Counsellors' Office when they meet students who need sparring, help or support.

Lecturers can engage in dialogue with the Student Counsellors' Office if they see a particular need in students that the Student Counsellors' Office can help with.

Boards of studies and directors of studies

The board of studies can engage in dialogue with the Student Counsellors' Office if they see a particular need in students that the Student Counsellors' Office can help with.

The board of studies receives ongoing information about their students from the Student Counsellors' Office in the form of evaluations and figures from the registration of enquiries.

Our process for student guidance initiatives

The Student Counsellors' Office works according to an annual schedule. In the annual schedule, we determine which guidance services we offer and when. These include study techniques workshops, thesis seminars and information meetings.

In addition, there is always the possibility of individual guidance by email, phone or in person.

Our student counsellors must complete a 'basic course in student guidance' provided by AU.

We register all enquiries from students in an enquiry survey. Data is available in Power BI.

We evaluate our events and the student orientation programme on an ongoing basis.
