Next Career

Uncertain prospects? Should you stay or restart?

Are you experiencing uncertainty in your academic journey, or considering the possibility of leaving your studies? We offer our support. Our services provide counseling and access to a network designed to help with your professional orientation – even if that means parting ways with the university.

Counseling on Study Doubts and Withdrawal Considerations

Are you at a crossroads, debating whether to continue your education or to end it? Or perhaps you're uncertain about your future direction? Doubts and decisions about one’s academic path arise for various reasons, and for each doubt, there are numerous solutions. Remember, you are not alone. Dropping out is not synonymous with failure. In Germany, one out of three students chooses not to complete their studies, thereby discovering new professional avenues and opportunities for success. "Next Career" counseling is designed to guide you on your journey to personal achievement.
