When faced with learning difficulties, lack of motivation, nervousness before exams or self-doubt during their studies, many students feel alone and overwhelmed. The Academic Coaching at TUM offers support and guidance in challenging times.

We want to support you in meeting your new challenges. Find out in what ways student advisers could help you.
