Alternatives to studying
What options are available to me if my choice of studies does not reflect my personal interests?
If I am dissatisfied with my academic performance?
If I have already thought about changing my degree programme or university several times or even discontinuing my studies?
We are always available for a personal counselling interview and will be happy to support or accompany you on an alternative career path.
