Who helps you get started? 
In your first week, you will meet your personal development coach (pd-coach) or study career coach within your programme. This person is your first point of contact for everything related to your studies. Your coach will think along with you, whether it’s about your studies, planning, or personal situation. Together, you will explore what you need, and if necessary, you will be referred to additional support. 

Additional support when needed 
Every student is different, and sometimes life circumstances affect your studies. You might experience stress, have difficulties planning, or deal with personal circumstances. At Inholland, various specialists are available to support you: 

• Student counsellor 
  For personal circumstances, such as illness, a disability, or other factors that affect your studies.
• Student coach 
  If you are dealing with stress, lack of focus, planning challenges, or if you feel stuck. Together, you will work on solutions that suit you.
• Student Success Centre (SSC) 
  A meeting place for and by students, offering workshops and social activities organised by student buddies.
• International Office 
  Support with integration and studying in the Netherlands, assistance with (applying for) financial arrangements and advice on studying or doing internship abroad.
