Do you have questions about studies and have not found the answers on the Instructions for Students website or elsewhere? If you have questions about the content of your degree, you should contact the teaching staff of your degree programme, but if you need assistance relating to the studies you have not yet completed, or general advice on the structure of your degree, you should make an appointment with a student adviser or education planning officer familiar with your degree programme. For a link to the appointment system, please see above.

When you book your appointment, be sure to select your degree programme from the menu and explain the reasons for your appointment in as much detail as possible. This will help us prepare for your visit.
