Choose informed – build your future with confidence

Choosing a college is a defining moment in your educational and professional journey. It's not just about a place where you'll study, but also about what you'll build step by step in the coming years: knowledge, experiences, friendships, career. 

• What do I really like to do? 

• Which faculty/study program suits me? 

• Would I make the same choice if there was no outside pressure?

• Will I face the challenges?

• How can I be sure I'm making the right decision?

These are just a few questions that have surely crossed your mind. It is absolutely normal to have them. The answers will come in time. However, an essential step is to make an informed choice, with confidence and courage.

It starts with self-knowledge.

Who is To make an informed decision, the first step is to go through a process of self-knowledge. Perhaps you have already gone through a process of evaluating your personality, interests and skills in high school. If, at that time, you did not pay enough attention to this process or if you did not fully understand its usefulness, we recommend that you access psycho-vocational testing platform YTM for an updated and relevant analysis.

By completing the questionnaire integrated into the platform, you will obtain information about your personality, your professional interests and your cognitive skills. At the same time, depending on the results obtained, the platform will recommend the faculties/study programs that suit you. Additionally, you will be able to download two documents from the platform: a report of occupational interests, an assessment of your personality and skills. 

Personalized support through counseling

If, after completing the tests, you have questions and would like clarification regarding the results provided by the platform, you can request support and guidance from the Student Counseling and Support Service of the West University of Timișoara (SCSS-UVT). Thus, you can schedule an individual career counseling session by completing the TO THIS FORM. Subsequently, a SCSS-UVT counselor will contact you to set up a date for your first meeting. During the counseling, you will be guided through the process of: 

• • • self-knowledge (personality, interests, skills, personal and professional values), 
    • expdevelopment of study programs and career options, 
    • making an informed decision and developing a personalized action plan.

A process centered on you

COUNSELING has a character interpersonal and non-directiveThis means that you will not be told which study program to choose. The counselor's role is to support you in clarifying your own needs and options, so that you can make the decision that suits you best.
