Positive reflection on Start Sessions after 1st semester

Share
24 March 2026
Both students and student psychological counsellors (SPC) look back with satisfaction on the introduction of the Start Sessions, as of August 2025.

Numbers indicate that waiting times for consultations with a SPC have decreased drastically. Students find their way easily: in the first semester, 531 Start Sessions were booked, of which 337 took place. During the Start Session, students can, for instance, get referred to a student psychological counsellor for individual counselling. The team of student psychological counsellors will continue to evaluate their work.
