To optimise your period of study, Chalmers offers broad support with opportunities for individual consultations. The student guidance counsellor can help you with everything from planning and choice of courses and programmes, to how you can cope with your study situation. Student support can provide general information, and you can contact the Director of Studies if you have questions about specific subjects.

Student guidance in programmes

There is a student guidance counsellor for every educational programme, which task is to support, guide and motivate students through their studies. You can contact your programme’s student guidance counsellor about various issues, such as if you need help planning your studies, are wondering how to choose, feel unmotivated, are considering dropping out of your studies or would like to suspend them for a while.

You can also contact the student guidance counsellor if your mental wellbeing is low, if you feel you have not connected with your fellow students or if you have other issues regarding your studies that affect you and your study situation. A conversation with a counsellor always aims to support you to make independent decisions about yourself and your studies.

The student guidance counsellor at Chalmers is the students' first contact for supportive talking sessions and is bound by a duty of confidentiality.

There is a director of studies for every programme. The task of the director of studies is to support you as a student, mainly regarding subject-related issues. This includes providing information about course content and course selection, as well as conducting various assessments and making decisions about credit transfers from courses and exemptions. If you are wondering whether you meet the degree requirements for your programme, you can contact your director of studies. If you are going to study abroad at one of Chalmers’ partner universities, contact your director of studies to plan which courses you can study there and then transfer credit from when you return home again.

The director of studies works closely with heads of programmes and directors of master’s programmes to ensure the programmes’ quality and development, for instance through course evaluations.

To find your director of studies, see the list of contacts per programme.
