Counseling
Sometimes studying doesn't go the way it should. It is possible that at some point you are "stuck": with your studies, your choice of study, with yourself, ... Know that you are not alone! You can always contact a staff member of the Student Services Department (STUVO) for an informal talk. Discover the options on this page.
Psychological counseling
Do you need a personal conversation, would you like to share your concerns with someone? Do you suffer from fear of failure or procrastination? Or would you like to improve your study method and/or study planning? Contact one of our student psychologists. Conversations are free.
Learning path coaches
A study track counselor is a teacher or the program head within your program. This person assists you with program-related questions. This can range from providing specific information about the program in question, looking together at the most desirable study pathway...
The O-status
Do you have additional educational needs, have you already received increased care in the past or have a specific diagnosis? Together with you, we look at where you experience difficulties and what possible adjustments can be made. You can apply for an O-status for this, where the 'O' stands for 'Ondersteuning' (= 'extra support' in Dutch).
Inclusive facilities
As an Odisee student, you are entitled to a number of inclusive facilities. You don't have to do anything extra for these: all students are automatically entitled to them.
Ombuds Service
The Ombuds Service watches over your rights and obligations as outlined in the Education and Examination Regulations, listens to your questions, provides you with the necessary information and, if necessary, mediates any problems that arise during your course of study.
Study Skills
Sometimes studying may not go so smoothly, you may not know "how to get started" or the upcoming exam period may cause you stress. We try to help you with personalized guidance and online material you can work through yourself.
Study Advice
