Topics for consultation
We can support you in deciding on the appropriate type of study and university, in planning and organizing your studies, and in answering questions about possible alternatives. There is also the option of counseling in personally difficult situations. Important topics may also include financing your studies, getting access to necessary tools and resources, finding suitable housing, and assistance in everyday study routines. If you need an individual adjustment of study conditions, you can apply for disadvantage compensation ("Nachteilsausgleich"). Counseling is voluntary, confidential and open-ended.
You can find other consultation topics that may be relevant to you and other students before and during your studies here.
