Diak offers study guidance for students. Study guidance counselling supports orientation and commitment to studying, the development of professional skills, the progress of studies and the transition to working life. Each starting group is assigned its own guidance counsellor and responsible teacher. You will meet your own guidance counsellor and responsible teacher at guidance sessions several times each semester. In the first semester there are 4 – 6 study guidance session. After the first semester guidance sessions take place three times per semester.
In addition to guidance lessons, you can turn to your own guidance counsellor in decision-making and problem situations related to your studies, study difficulties and other questions about your own life and everyday studies.
The tasks of the guidance counsellors include:
- Group and individual guidance for students
- Personal study plan (PSP) guidance
- Supporting the student’s professional growth
- Activities of the wellbeing group
- Matters related to course registrations
- Matters related to student admissions and study rights.
In addition, the guidance counsellor will help you plan your career by guiding you in the choices made during the education and by telling you about further education opportunities.
In the beginning of your studies, your guidance counsellor will guide you to draw up a personal study plan, i.e. a PSP, which you will update if necessary. You will also get guidance on how to apply accreditation for previous studies or work experience (see more on the RPL page).
Contact your guidance counsellor also if you need special support in individual study arrangements.
You can talk to your counsellor in confidence about your personal study plan or any issues concerning studies.
