About Barbara Ruz Tallqvist

Study Counsellor

• Geography Bachelor's and Master's Programmes

I am a trained study and career counsellor and graduated from Malmö University.

What I can contribute and offer you is guidance talks, coaching and relevant and objective information about the department's courses and programs. It is also me you turn to if you have a NAIS certificate and need pedagogical support with us.

Whether you are a prospective, independent or program student, you can contact me with specific or general questions. You are welcome to contact me even if you do not have a pre-formulated question about your studies or a clear case. Do you doubt whether you have made the right choice, whether to take a study break or drop out? Curious about studying abroad or trying other courses? Have you fallen behind or are you a little ahead? Where, what, how, when? Come to me and we'll talk about it.

My way of working is based on a norm-critical perspective with respect for the individual's unique value and integrity. I work on the basis of the Privacy Act and the Law on Professional Secrecy

You can find me in room: 4095 or e-mail to: svl@gvc.gu.se
