Support services in case of doubts about studying and dropping out

Are you unsure whether your study program - or studying at all - is right for you? Do you have doubts because you expected your studies to be different or have lost touch? Doubts about studying are not uncommon and affect many students.

A counseling interview is a useful first step in clarifying what has led to your current situation and what prospects there are.

The Student Advisory Service at Fachhochschule Dortmund is there for you: In addition to an open telephone consultation for students in doubt, there is also the option of making an appointment for a consultation.

The following topics can be discussed during the consultation: Support in finding the causes, reorientation or reorientation, decision-making, referral to contact persons.
