- Financial helpdesk (anonymous)At UT, we have a partnership with Diffit. Together with Diffit, we work on the sustainable employability of our employees, with a focus on financially fit employees. Since February 2022, we have been facing a new crisis in Europe. After earlier concerns about health and social restrictions, there is now also a great deal of uncertainty about issues such as high energy prices, inflation, and finances. For this reason, a Helpdesk is available for you, where you can call anonymously with questions or concerns when, for example, you: Feel insecure about your budget or financial position Worry about debts or reminders Not knowing which agency to contact The groceries or your (energy) bills can no longer be paid You no longer have an overview of your administration Have questions about surcharges, assessments or other regulations of the tax authorities Are unsure about your pension or when you can stop or work less You have changes in your home situation such as a divorce, death or a move Financial helpdesk flyer English

Throught the Student well-being improvement programme (SWIP) we want to inspire and support continuous improvements with attention for student well-being within education, communication, support & guidance as well as within student life.
