Online consultations in times of corona
Since personal advisory services are not possible at the moment, we have switched to alternative formats. You can reach us by phone, email, or online via video consultation.
Our team provides general information and advises students and prospective students. The Advisory Service is often the first point of contact for all questions relating to the decision to study, to studying itself as well as to social and personal problems at university and while studying.
Our services are always free of charge and optional. If necessary, they can also be anonymous.
