Doubts about studies
Are you having doubts about your studies? Change your perspective and find your way.
Many students struggle with doubts about their studies. Sometimes it is uncertainty about their personal motivation, their choice of study programme or career prospects that causes them to lose confidence.
These doubts can also lead to a desire to drop out of university. We will support you during this phase, show you available options and help you make the right decision for you – whether that means continuing your studies or choosing a new path.
