ISU Peer Counselling: Support for your everyday student life

ISU Peer Counselling offers individual counselling sessions to make your everyday student life easier. Peer counselling means that you will be counselled by students from the Master's programme in Psychology. Your colleagues have been trained for this format as part of a course.

Who can use this counselling?

This inclusive peer support program is for students at the University of Vienna - especially those just starting their studies - who

• have difficulty concentrating or require special attention in their learning environment.
• have difficulty structuring their course material or the requirements of their courses.
• need support in organising and planning their studies.
• suffer from exam anxiety and are looking for strategies to cope with it.

Students with disabilities and neurodivergent students are very welcome. Our counsellors are sensitive to your concerns. No proof is required.

What issues can be discussed?

• Semester planning
• Study organisation
• Optimisation of personal time management
• Creation of a study plan and structuring of study material
• Writing emails to lecturers or university staff
• Discussion and joint development of possible strategies for exam anxiety
• Joint strategy development for motivation difficulties
