Contacting the university: A roadmap
Contacting such a big organization such as the Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR) and our faculty the Erasmus School of Social and Behavioural Sciences (ESSB) can be very challenging at times. Where do you have to go with your particular question or issue? And how can you contact them? To help you out we have created this so-called "roadmap". This roadmap is a scheme where you can easily see which department you have to contact for your question. It works as follows: choose the category your question is in, specify your question within this category and see which department within the EUR/ ESSB is able to help you the best! Below, can immediately find the contact information of these departments!

Category I: Personal Questions or Issues
University Psychologists (EUR*)
You can contact the university psychologists if you have study issues and psychological, social and/or emotional problems that are hindering your study progress. If the university psychologists are unable to offer you the support you need, they will refer you to other external support agencies. There are several appointments you can make:
- Open consultation hour: You can briefly discuss your symptoms to decide together with the psychologist whether it would be worthwhile to refer you to the university psychologists.
- General Intake: In a General intake your problems, symptoms, background and needs will be discussed to decide what further support is needed.
- Groups & workshops: For enrolment in a group, you schedule an appointment for an intake interview to decide whether participation in such a group would be beneficial for you.
- PhD psychologist: For PhD's a PhD psychologist is available.
