Looking for the right track
Feeling concerned or unsure about your studies? The ZSB can advise you on topics like getting re-oriented, changing your field of study or dropping out.
Are you unsure whether your current field of study is right for you? Do you think about changing university and ask yourself what you need to consider? Do you wonder where to start?
Our Central Student Advisory Service (ZSB) will gladly take time for you and your concerns. Simply make an appointment for your individual consultation, where the ZSB team will help you explore various options. You can also check our Events and workshops webpage for upcoming programmes.
Together we can discuss the following:
- Is continuing with your subject an option? If so, how can this work?
- What criteria point towards changing your subject?
- Which subjects at the University of Konstanz or at another university best match your interests, abilities and goals?
- Do you want to continue studying, or is vocational training currently the better option?
- Which steps do you have to take now, where can you find information and who can help you?
