Counselling
The student counselling service offers privat conversations within all sorts of challenges that you may face in student life. It can involve mental, social, physical or practical challenges – from loneliness and heartbreak to studying techniques.
The counsellors are located on campus. You do not need a referral to talk to the counselling service. The service is free and the Student consellors are bound by confidentiality.
Counselling via Skype
If you study in Vesterålen or for other reasons are far away from a Student counsellor, you are welcome to get counselling via Skype.
Clinic and doctor
As a student you have access to health clinics on Campus or in the city where you study. At the clinic, you will meet the nurse and the doctor. The health clinics have a special focus upon body, sexual health and contraception.
Courses
Throughout the year our consultants offer courses within stress management, examination practice, “speak up in meetings”, yoga, and other relevant courses. Follow our social media channels to be updated.
Refund of health expenses
You can apply for a refund of your health expenses through Studentinord’s health fund.
