Choosing a degree program is a lengthy process, and it isn’t always easy. The Central Student Information and Counseling Service (Zentrale Studienberatung) supports you in finding guidance and a degree program that suits you. We focus on your needs, experiences, and skills. We discuss your options and next steps impartially and help you find the solution that works best for you. Our services are voluntary, free of charge, confidential, and anonymous if you wish.

We offer individual counseling sessions on site, online, and by telephone. Please let us know your preference.
Counseling topics
We support you in deciding what you would like to study – whether you are just starting to explore your options, are torn between different choices, want to review a specific study preference, or want to develop a Plan B as a backup. Depending on your needs, we will focus on your interests, skills, and goals, or take a closer look at your career prospects.
We are also happy to discuss other topics related to studying (e. g., questions about organizing your studies, financing, balancing work and study) and address special challenges such as health impairments or family responsibilities. We also support international prospective students in choosing the right course of study.
