Student guidance
Don’t bottle up questions you have about your studies or how to study. Whether you need help for studying efficiently, have doubts about your choice of study program, have a fear of failure, or want help with your career planning: the TU/e is there to help you with good study and student counselling.
You can also ask about study grants, arrangements for exceptionally talented students (in your field or in sports) in combination with their studies, or to make requests for provisions if you have a functional impairment, such as dyslexia, autism or a chronic condition or illness.
The Education and Student Affairs (ESA) offers individual coaching to students at the TU/e that is free of charge. The student advisors and student psychologists of ESA offer a short-term and solution-based approach.
For a visual representation of where to go with specific questions or issues, have a look at the referral charts in the download section.
In case of emergency or if you have any questions, you can contact the service desk of ESA in the Metaforum building.
