Student Counselling Service

If you would like to reflect on topics relating to your studies and the organisation of your studies with professional support, take advantage of the counselling services offered by the Student Counselling Service. You can arrange an individual counselling appointment or drop by during Open Counselling Hours without making an appointment.

Whether you are choosing a degree programme, planning the course of your studies or changing direction - you will receive professional support from the Student Counselling Service in all phases of your Bachelor's degree programme at the College and in the Master's degree programme in Teacher Education. You will find us on campus in building 8, ground floor.

You can choose from various counselling options:

  • The Open Counselling Hours take place on Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. (on Campus) and Thursdays from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. (digitally via Zoom) and can be used at short notice without registration. You can find the access details below.
