HZ is here for our students' well-being

Our student support

We are there for those who need support throughout their study progress. Perhaps if they are facing personal challenges or simply need a friendly chat. At HZ, a team of professionals is ready to offer each student the help and support they need.

We have prepared a checklist.

Student psychologists

Students can go to them if, for example, they:

  • Suffer from depression, panic attacks, fear of failure and/or a negative self-image;
  • Have (had) traumatic experiences;
  • Facing identity or relationship problems;
  • Suffer from mild addiction problems.

At HZ, students have access to the digital environment MyHZ. Here they will find additional information to get in touch with the student psychologists

Trusted representatives

Students can contact them if they happen to deal with:

  • Aggression, violence or bullying
  • Discrimination
  • Sexual intimidation
  • Unwanted intimacies

At HZ, we think it is important that everyone can study in a safe and pleasant environment. Undesirable behaviour, as described above, is not part of this.

When studying at HZ, you will have access to the digital environment MyHZ. Here you will find additional information to contact the confidential advisors.

Study career coach or Counsellor

Students can contact them if they:

  • Have doubts about their choice of study;
  • Have problems during their studies;
  • Difficulty with concentration or motivation;
  • Have questions about finances.

You can always speak to your study career coach or counsellor or send an e-mail to discuss what's on your mind. Go to overview counsellors

Within the HZ, there are a number of coaches who can support you in a specialised area. For instance, there is a language coach, an autism coach, a coach for gifted and highly gifted students and a top-level sports coordinator. An overview of the full team can be found on the website.
