Counselling & Mentoring

Emotional and psychological problems disturb the learning process and can affect the overall performance of students. The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science offers a student counselling service to help students who have problems related to academic, social and personal matters. The faculty has appointed three senior student counsellors and any student of the faculty may approach them if they want someone to listen to their problems/difficulties. If a student needs long term professional counselling or special medical treatment he/she would be directed/guided to qualified counsellors and/or medical doctors in the University health center or Peradeniya teaching hospital. As and when necessary student counsellors may talk to the parents to educate them who are unsure about how to help their children facing problems at university.
The objective of student counselling is to promote a healthy faculty environment and enhance student learning thereby minimizing the negative consequences of the problems faced by students such as individual suffering, absenteeism and high dropout rates.

How to contact/meet Student Counsellors:

You can contact student counsellors directly over the phone (through their personal mobile phone numbers given below) at any time of the day.
