Study doubts: Consultation hours of the Darmstadt counselling network

Do you have doubts about your degree programme or are you looking for alternatives for your professional future? Are you not sure whether a change of university or vocational training is right for you? It may be that your choice of degree programme was not the right decision and we can advise you on what alternatives there are to studying.

On the last Tuesday of every month, the h_da student advisory service, together with colleagues from the Darmstadt advisory network, provides advice on the topic of study doubts and prospects. Also represented:

  • Counsellor from the Student Advisory Service of the Technical University (TU)
  • Careers counsellor from the university team at the employment agency
  • Training and further education counsellor from the Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK)
  • Training and further education counsellor at the Chamber of Crafts (HWK)
  • Psychological counsellor from the Psychotherapeutic Counselling Centre (Studierendenwerk Darmstadt)

You can go to just one counsellor from the network or seek advice from various counsellors on your questions. Counselling is confidential and open-ended.

On Tuesday, 28 January 2025, the consultation hour will take place from 4 - 6 p.m. in the foyer of Mensa Stadtmitte - Alexanderstraße 4.
