Online Offers of our Social Counselling Service
What do I have to keep in mind when working while studying? Where can students with a chronic illness and/or disability network? These and many other topics are addressed in the events offered online by our Social Counselling Service.
Besides studying, there are other issues that are important in everyday life. For example, the various ways for financing your studies, one of the most common being taking a job. When a child joins the family, this also influences study planning and financing. Existing (financial) plans have to be reconsidered. Also, studying can bring further challenges if a chronic illness or disability affects daily life.
As of June 2021, various online events of our Social Counselling Service will be taking part. You will receive useful information on various topics related to financing your studies, studying during a pregnancy or with child(ren), studying with a chronic illness and/or disability, and studying with a residence permit.
