EUROPEAN CONFERENCE: STUDENT COUNSELLING IN HIGHER EDUCATION ‐‐ A REPORT∗

∗ This version of the Final Report has been slightly edited by the CEPES editorial staff.

Abstract

The main themes developed during the Conference are introduced, and the contributors, evoked. What motivated the holding of the Conference and the particular choice of contributors is the very poor economic climate in Europe occurring at a time when university enrollments are undergoing unprecedented expansion. University student counsellors, who are expected to serve as a kind of interface between the outside world and the university, have as their primary task that of helping students, who seek their services, to cope, to develop survival skills, to benefit from the academic side of their studies, all while preparing a niche for themselves on the outside.
