Academic Support
Comprehensive academic advising and social counseling
We aim to support our students in all aspects and stages of their studies: for example, with questions about their (desired) degree program or about study techniques and learning tricks. If you want to improve your time management or need tips on writing your term papers, you will find the right contact persons here. Even if you feel unsure about whether studying is the right choice for you, we are here to provide advice. Please, do not hesitate and take advantage of our counseling services and consultation hours and strengthen your skills for a successful academic career.
Advice for students studying under special circumstances
We offer individual advice for students studying under special circumstances, including students with children or caring for relatives as well as students with chronic illnesses or disabilities. Together, we will adapt the degree planning to your individual health-related challenges, family-related responsibilities, or care work.
Advice in the case of assaults, discrimination, and in times of crisis
We offer confidential support for students who have experienced injustice, assault or discrimination or face personal challenges. Professional contact persons are available to assist you and provide advice and support, even in times of crisis.
