Abstract:
This article examines the distinctive characteristics of academic advising at a private university of applied sciences, with a particular focus on one of Germany’s largest institutions of this type. Key features of its advising model include: (1) universal access to advising for all prospective students, (2) advising conceptualized as a service, and (3) advising frequently conducted by student advisors without prior counseling experience. Building on this framework, we explore whether the institution’s organizational structure and advising approach contribute to the increasing enrollment rates at private universities.
