For most people, studying is not only a period of learning, but also an important stage of life, a decision about their future, a step in their career, a setting of the course, a period of self-discovery, and an opportunity to identify their interests. Unsurprisingly, it is easy to lose track of options which universities can offer. To make your life easier when it comes to making such important decisions, in times of crisis, or in your everyday student life, we offer you various supporting services. On the following pages, you will find information relating to studying, continuing your studies in master’s programmes, regarding spending a semester abroad, examinations, and many other topics.

Information

Some institutions of the University of Jena are already offering their advisory services via the central Service Desk PortalExternal link. Students, employees and external persons can directly submit their requests via the Portal in order to clarify questions or concerns or to receive assistance with certain topics.
