Study and career guidance
The Study and Career Counsellors at Karlstad University always focus on the individual. You will receive tools to make well-informed decisions regarding your studies and career through counselling sessions. The session helps you explore the available opportunities and gives you an overview of your situation and alternatives. The Study- and Career Counsellor is bound by confidentiality in all matters related to your circumstances. The primary focus of the counselling is higher education based on the courses and programmes offered at Karlstad University.

DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT SPECIFIC PROGRAMMES, COURSES, OR PROFESSIONS?
Each programme has a Study- and Career Counsellor who can guide you regarding more specific questions about education and the career paths it can lead to. A programme- or course-related counselling session might cover topics such as:
- Karlstad University's programmes and structure
- Current study situation
- Labour market conditions within the field
- Future plans and career planning
- Admission requirements and application rules
- Validation and prior learning (reell kompetens)
- Course selection within a programme
- How to obtain a degree
- Credit transfer, non-completion and leave from studies
- Study technique and study planning
- Study abroad opportunities
