Study doubts - academic success
Publius Syrus (in "Sententiae" c. 50 b.Cr.)
A doubting mind is half the wisdom
The desire to start studying after graduation has been fulfilled. Now that you are studying, you still have doubts and feel insecure. Doubts and uncertainty are an impetus for further development. Only those who doubt and reflect on their own goals, actions and decisions can take responsibility for their own educational process - and be successful.
Don't be alone with your doubts. Doubts are there to be overcome, not to be retained. Talking to friends and family members is not the only way to overcome doubts. At the university, there are also various contact persons available to help you get out of your crisis of purpose and solve a wide range of challenges. The discussions are open-ended. Dropping out of studies, followed by a personal time-out, an apprenticeship, a change of university or subject, can also be a success.

Studienzweifel? - Übergang in die Ausbildung
Im ersten Video der Videoreihe gegen Studienzweifel werden zwei Studienabbrecher zu ihren Erfahrungen mit Zweifeln am Studium und ihrem darauf folgenden erfolgreichen Übergang in eine Ausbildung interviewt.
The reasons for doubt and success are many
As different as people are, so too are the individual conditions that affect motivation to study and academic performance. It is a web of conditions that lead to dropping out of studies, and it often takes that one last drop that breaks the camel's back. This also means that there are several adjusting screws that can be turned. And there is a solution for everyone.
