Your role as a student advisor
“Working with the student to find what does work.”
As a student advisor, you are a trusted point of contact for students who have questions about their study progress, choices or obstacles. You provide structure, think with them, make referrals and keep an overview. This makes you a crucial link in guiding students toward successful, inclusive and healthy study.
Inclusive education
“Enabling customization.”
Not every student follows the same path. Students with support needs sometimes need adjustments in the pace of learning, testing or planning. You help them to map out their possibilities and search together for workable solutions within education. This way you contribute to equal opportunities and a fair assessment of what a student can do.
Career guidance and orientation
“Preparing for the next step.”
Many students have doubts about their careers or feel uncertain about moving into internships or jobs. You guide them in exploring their talents, wishes and concerns. By looking ahead together and substantiating the right choices, you help students towards a place where they will come into their own both in education and beyond.
Student Wellbeing
“Signaling, supporting and referring.”
As a student advisor, you quickly notice when a student is not doing well for a while. Performance pressure, personal circumstances or mental health problems can put pressure on study success. You listen, make matters open to discussion and know when and where to refer students. This way you help students find the right help in time.
