Career Counseling and Guidance Centre

The Career Counseling and Guidance Centre (CCOC) supports you in finding the right path in your studies, career and life. Whether you are a student interested in discovering what suits you, a UPT student or a recent graduate, CCOC provides personalised and free support.

The right support, at the right time

From psychological and vocational counselling to career guidance and employment preparation, we help you better understand your options.

The CCOC team helps you clarify your goals, skills and values, so that you can make informed decisions about your studies and professional path.

How you can get involved

Volunteering at CCOC

Would you like to get involved in organising university events, workshops or campaigns?

Through CCOC volunteering programmes, you can contribute to meaningful projects while developing your communication, leadership and organisational skills.

Psychological counselling

The psychological counselling service helps you better cope with emotional, personal or academic challenges.

In a safe and confidential environment, you can talk to a psychologist about what you are experiencing and discover the inner resources that can help you move forward. Book an appointment through the CCOC platform and benefit from up to 7 sessions/year (or a maximum of 4 sessions if you have participated in previous years).

Vocational counselling

Not sure which career path is right for you?

During vocational counselling sessions, you work with a counsellor or psychologist to identify your interests and strengths. The service includes up to 5 sessions/academic year — all you need to do is book an appointment through the CCOC platform.

Psychological assessment

Psychological assessment helps you better understand yourself and identify the professional fields that suit you.

The process includes completing psychological tests and an individual interpretation session with a specialist.

Employment preparation

Prepare confidently for your first step towards your career.

Our team provides support with writing your CV and cover letter, preparing for interviews and choosing suitable internship or job opportunities.

Events
