Academic advising
All university instructors who take part in education in each discipline offer advising in their field for students during office hours. Office hours are usually announced through postings at the institute or department. In addition, academic advisors for each programme are designated in the faculties. They can offer advice for specific questions about the study programme or discipline. It is recommended that you make an appointment or call ahead if you require advising services. The academic advisors can counsel students about possible specialisations, study technologies, selection of and enrolment in classes that contribute to the student’s goals, participation in projects, degree progress evaluations, transferring to a different programme (discipline) or to a different institution, exam preparation, degree options, possible supplementary studies in the faculties, and taking exams early, among other concerns.
The academic advising programme strives to advise students during their entire course of study.
Important times and events that may prompt students to seek an advisor include:
- The beginning of studies at the end of the first year
- The end of the basic studies/ foundational course (Grundstudium)
- Before and after internships or co-ops
- The beginning of projects and large academic assignments
- Preparation for temporary study at another university in Germany or abroad
- An intended change of programme and/or discipline
