Need support? Help is here!
When your child starts studying at UT, the study adviser is his or her first contact person. The study adviser monitors and assesses your child’s study progress. If the study programme turns out to be too difficult or challenging, there are still possible alternatives: a different study approach, or maybe another study programme or type of education.
Do personal circumstances such as illness, psychological problems or a disability hinder the study progress of your child? The Student Affairs, Coaching en Counseling (SACC) team can help to find a suitable form of support. For example, in case of gloom, homesickness, problems with a relationship or fellow student, your child can meet with a student psychologist free of charge. With help of the psychologist, students can also learn to hone their study skills.
