Student life has its challenges. Whether you are facing challenges concerning finances, health, or your studies, explore the available support and seek guidance.
Our support structure is designed to assist you on various fronts. From study advisors to financial aid counsellors, a network of professionals is ready to help.
Find your support
Your first contact in the educational programme is your study adviser. You can turn to the study adviser with questions about your study, study plan and study progress. Some educational programmes also have tutors or mentors for tutoring. A meeting about non-educational related problems is also possible. For instance, about motivation, doubts and study delays due to personal circumstances.
If you are a UT student living with ADHD or have questions about it, we are here to lend a helping hand.
What We Can Help You With
Creating and maintaining a structured daily routine that suits your needs.
Overcoming distractions and regaining focus effectively.

Social safety is fundamental for everyone working at, studying at, or visiting UT. Respect, integrity, honesty, and consideration for others are expected on our campus and within our organisation. Together we must ensure our university continues to be a safe place. Being confronted with an unsafe situation or inappropriate behavior can have a huge impact. If you feel unsafe, or mistreated or if you have witnessed an unsafe situation, please inform people around you and try to talk about it. Various support professionals are here to help you whenever you need it, no matter what. Our skilled and committed professionals are always there for you to listen, talk things through, and act. Decisively, respectfully, and with an open mind.
