Your Study Coaching

Get in top shape with our Study Coaches

At IU, you shape the path through your studies the way you want. And if you need help along the way, you can turn to our Study Coaches.

They will ...

  • accompany you through your studies from start to finish, regularly or as needed. 

  • work with you on learning, motivation and reflection strategies – entirely according to your personal needs and completely free of charge.

We can advise you on these topics:

Time management

How do I integrate my studies into my everyday life? How do I reconcile my studies with my job and/or family? How do I create a personal plan to achieve my goals?

Motivation

How do I overcome my inner voice telling me not to bother? How do I define short, medium and long-term goals for myself? How do I find the right "drive" in my studies?

Learning strategies

How can I organise my learning time efficiently? Which learning style and which learning methods suit me? How can I make the best use of teaching materials?
