If you’d like to talk to someone about your studies, career plans, or personal challenges, you can contact the Directorate for Counselling and Career Development in a way that suits you.
Students reach out to us for many reasons. Sometimes with a clear question, and sometimes just because things feel overwhelming or uncertain. You don’t need to know exactly what kind of support you need before making contact.
