Study and career guidance at SLU

The study and career counsellors can give you general advice on courses and programmes at SLU. We can show you where to find detailed information about the content of courses and programmes and also help you interpret this information.

During a guidance session, you can receive support when you:

• Have general questions about university studies
• Contemplate your study and career choices
• Need help navigating through courses and programs at SLU
• Have questions about interpreting eligibility requirements and enrollment procedures
• Have foreign education and wish to start studying at SLU

Guidance counsellors are bound by professional secrecy – although there are exceptions

As a student, you steer the content of your meetings with us. Everything we discuss is bound by professional secrecy in accordance with Chapter 23, Section 5 of the Public Access to Information and Secrecy Act. This means that the guidance counsellors may not share information about your personal circumstances without your permission.

However, there are two situations in which the guidance counsellors must break professional secrecy:

1. If there is a danger to your life and safety, or the life and safety of others.
2. If a student or member of staff believes they have been discriminated against, victimised, harassed, sexually harassed or faced reprisals. This also applies to incidents that take place during other activities such as student union events, staff parties, or on social media.
   SLU will not tolerate any such behaviour and must therefore investigate all cases. An investigation will determine which measures need to be taken to stop and prevent harassment and victimisation.
