Doubts about Studying

Doubts about your chosen subject or studies are quite common. Especially at the start of university study, you may find that the topics and material in lectures and seminars don’t line up with your expectations. You haven’t yet found allies at the University and when everyone else seems so knowledgeable and happy, it can be hard.

This may be temporary, but it can also mean the start of a decision to drop out. Do not let it go that far: arrange a personal advising session with the Center for Academic Advising and Psychological Counseling (ZSPB) at the University of Hamburg. We know about the ups and downs of studying and we can clarify the situation with you in one or several meetings and work together to explore your options.
