Consultation and Coaching
Are you unsure whether your current degree programme is really the right fit for you? Would you like to change your minor or prepare a plan B? In personal consultation and coaching sessions, we support you in making well‑informed decisions.
A personal session is suitable for the following concerns:
- Reorientation when changing your study programme
- Support in choosing a minor
- Reorientation in cases of (possible) exclusion from UZH
- Support with decision-making
- Developing a plan B (e.g. an alternative to studying Medicine)
- Support in choosing a Master's degree programme at UZH
Our counselling services are aimed at enrolled students. Prospective students who are still in the decision-making process regarding study choice are welcome to use our drop-in sessions for prospective students.
Please note that in our counselling for choosing a Master's programme, we are not able to check whether you meet the formal or subject-specific admission requirements.
Consultation and Coaching Format
We offer consultation and coaching sessions on site, by phone or video conference. They last about 45 minutes, are free of charge and confidential.
In a session, we would like to clarify with you at what point you are in your study choice process and what might help you move forward. We want to empower you to overcome any hurdles you may face in reorienting yourself and to take the next step.
We see you as an expert for your concerns and for your decisions. We accompany you in your decision-making process. Together we bring more clarity to your situation and find strategies for new perspectives.
Decisions are not a one-time event, but a process in which considerations are tried out, discarded, adapted and concretized.
We work
- open-minded
- resource-oriented
- confidential
The consultation and coaching sessions take place here.
