Study and Career Guidance
Study Guidance
Talking with your study and career counsellor is a chance for you to get sparring and inspiration to reflect about your situation, your challenges and your options.
See the below examples of typical questions asked by students.
At the beginning of your study, you’ll probably already have notions of passions you have, what you’d like to work with, what you’re good at, etc.
During your study, however, you might find that all of that changes. As a result, you might find a need to:
- discuss your considerations about a future career, continuing education or job options
- get support in implementing your plans
- expand your perspective and your self-image
During your study, you’ll acquire professional and academic competencies. But, at KEA Study and Career Guidance we also like to encourage you to focus on your general career-oriented competencies, such as your ability to:
- keep deadlines
- challenge yourself
- think innovatively
- cooperate and tackle conflicts (e.g. when your team disagree)
- plan and carry out a project

Some of the questions we often hear in the Study and Career Guidance are:
Doubt, well-being and motivation:
"I am not sure if I have chosen the right programme to study."
"I think the others are much better than me and I do not dare to ask questions in class."
"The others in the study group annoy me and we cannot work together, what do we do?"
"I feel stressed. Can I take a break from my studies or is there anything else I can do? "
"I'm getting nervous about the exam, what can I do?"
Rules on course of study:
"I have failed an exam, what do I do?"
"I've been ill for two weeks and I don't know if I'll be able to come back to class right away. What can I do?"
"I need a break. Can I get a leave from my studies?"
Career and further education:
"I might like to study more after this programme. Is that possible?"
"I do not know what type of work I can get with my degree."
