Academic Consultancy Centre Opens

In the new academic year, the Academic Consultancy Centre starts operations at the TBU University Institute. It provides free psychological, legal, and study consultancy to all students and employees of the University, as well as to the people interested in the study at the University and the graduates. The Centre is situated in the U10 building in the TGM square 1279, room No. 321, tel. 576 037 321, e-mail: poradna@uni.utb.cz .

"The general mission of the Centre is to strengthen the personal and professional skills of the clients so that they are able to deal with various demands life raises. They can approach us whenever they find themselves in a difficult life situation," the psychologist, Mgr. Barbara Benická explained.

The help is provided in the form of individual consultations or in groups - by the means of educational or experiential courses. Another area of the Centre's activities is study consultancy which should help students to accommodate more easily to the conditions of university studies/studying at the university, help them learn more efficiently, etc. The legal consultancy deals with the issues of labour, civil and social laws.

It is expected that in the future, the Centre will also offer profession and career consultancy. "For instance, we plan to organize group courses for students, that would increase their chances of getting a job. In these courses, the students will learn how to write their resumé properly, how to conduct themselves at a job interview, and so on," Ms Benická added.
