The psychological well-being and health of students are very important to SMK College of Applied Sciences. Our aim is to achieve that all members of our community feel good and receive qualified and timely assistance when needed.
If you are worried about your exams, final theses, we recommend that you first contact your study programme manager to discuss your concerns. We believe that the study programme manager will help you dispel your concerns and offer solutions to your problems.
If you experience emotional problems, learning difficulties, anxiety, feelings of loneliness, sadness, lack of motivation, decision-making difficulties, we encourage you to seek help immediately. An open and sincere conversation helps to find answers. During psychological counselling, professionals can help you to recognize and change negative thinking patterns, form a positive attitude towards yourself and the outside world, and overcome feelings of frustration and stress.
