It is the responsibility of universities and universities of applied science to offer equal opportunities to all students, regardless of background, origin and previous education. Not only incidentally, when things are about to go wrong, but also proactively and structurally. This includes intensive counseling and support from, for example, professionally trained tutors, academic counselors, student psychologists, student deans and career counselors. Better student counseling can prevent problems and ensure optimal development of all students.
