Frequently Asked Questions regarding the topic of dropout.

Self-assess your dropout risk

The online self-assessment tool is designed for students to identify their individual drop out risk. The assessment might help you to deliberate your situation. You can consider bringing along your results to the counselling.

It also offers detailed feedback and an e-learning center on motivation, academic resilience, self-regulated learning, social networks and personal career management. Furthermore, it offers useful orientation for students who have already decided on dropping out of university.

This tool is currently available in English, German, Portuguese, Serbian and Greek language.
