Psycological Counselling Committee

In the committee meetings usually the progress report of the PBS of the past year is duscussed(How many students needed help? Which offers of the PBS for the students were highly frequented? Did any especially difficult problems occur? etc.) and based on this identify the key tasks for the next year are set. The committee does not have a special webpage, but the PBS has one: www.pbs.uzh.ch . In average, the committee meets twice a year. Having a counseling office like the PBS is a great help for students that experience problems with their studies or in their private life. The PBS also offers conflict management especially for PhD students who experience problems with their supervisor or their project. They also have a course that helps with problems encountered when writing a paper.
