Social counselling

Graphic Signpost Problem and Solution

Do you need orientation in the study jungle? Or are you looking for support to survive outside the lecture hall? Come to us – we will bring light into the darkness and find answers and solutions together. For special topics, such as legal issues or psychological stress, we will also refer you to the relevant specialist offices/contact persons. Our counselling services are free of charge and open to all students, prospective students and their families.

The main topics of counselling are:

  • Financial aid and state social benefits
  • Financial emergencies (e.g. hardship fund loans or free table tokens)
  • Student Jobs – What do I have to consider?
  • Study and pregnancy/parenthood
  • Concerns of disabled and chronically ill students
  • Problems of foreign students
  • Broadcasting fees, semester fees/semester ticket, health insurance

Counselling is available in person during office hours and also via video, chat or telephone. Simply make an appointment!
