Degree student’s study counselling, support and wellbeing: Are you already familiar with our learning and wellbeing support services?
Your well-being, progress with your studies and your ability to cope are all intertwined. Don’t be left alone, look after your and our community’s wellbeing.
Stand together means that we support each other and treat each other as equal individuals, and we secure that our campuses are peaceful places to work and study.
Support to your studies with study councelling
As a student at Oulu University of Applied Sciences, you are not alone; support with your studies is available through study counselling.
Tutor Teacher is the nearest counsellor of your group. He/she supports your professional growth and guides you with drawing up the personal study plan (PSP).
Campus Study Counsellors counsel you in studying and learning at every stage of your study path. They also support your personal growth and development. Campus study counsellors have particular responsibility for students who need special counselling, who for any reason fail to stay on schedule with their studies and are at risk of prolonging or discontinuing their studies.
Head of Studies approves your personal study plans and wide accreditations. Teachers guide you on the matters concerning the contents and completing of courses. Teachers also guide you on different studying / learning methods and on completing the course with alternative performance methods.

Support to your studies and career development
You can apply for additional support services if your studies feel challenging, you are uncertain about your career path, or you need coaching for job-seeking and related matters.
Support services are available for students at Oamk and Oulu University and they are provided and developed by Oulu University’s Learning Support and Wellbeing Centre:

Wellbeing courses are also available on Moodle.

You can find the Career Centre on the Linnanmaa campus, opposite the green coat racks (YT101). You are welcome to drop by during opening hours without an appointment or book a personal guidance session.
