Between studying and student life, it's not always easy to keep track of everything. Our social counsellors Helga Kessler and Ronald Friedrich can often help before problems arise. But even in more difficult situations, they are happy to be your first point of contact and offer help in finding solutions. You can make an appointment for a counseling session by phone or email. Of course, the consultations are absolutely confidential and free of charge for students.

You can come to the social councelling for advice on the following topics:

• Financing your studies
• Work and study
• Counselling and help in financial emergencies (emergency fund)
• Social benefits
• Health insurance
• Assistance for international students
• Support in special situations (e.g. pregnancy)
• Studying with a child
• Assistance for students with disabilities or chronic illnesses
• general questions before starting a course of study or during the transition from study to work
   

If you have questions concerning BAföG, please contact the Amt für Ausbildungsförderung.

Our social counselling service regularly comes to your university and advises you in open consultation hours. Counselling is confidential and free of charge. Just drop by – no need to register. You can find out when we are at which university on our events page!
