Doubts about your studies? Difficulties with motivation? Learning problems? Or even the thought of dropping out of your studies? Students in North Rhine-Westphalia should not be alone with such challenges. This is the sixth time that the supra-regional theme weeks "Study Doubts" have taken place, and almost 30 universities are now participating in the NEXT CAREER project, which is organized throughout the state and sponsored by the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia (MKW).
For three weeks in March 2025, universities in NRW will be inviting students to find out about career changes and reorientation, changing subjects, changing universities or possibly dropping out. The series of events will start on March 10, 2025 with an online kick-off event that will provide an overview of the Study Doubt 2025 theme weeks. (Former) students in doubt will also have their say to report on their experiences and perspectives.
The Hochschule Niederrhein will be launching its own Study Doubt Week on March 17, 2025, with the following events planned:
Mon.17.03. (10 to 11 a.m.) - online: Securing study success instead of dropping out (Miriam Kneisel)
