Student ambassadors wanted!
The Central Student Advisory Service is looking for students to support our programmes as study ambassadors. Student ambassadors conduct campus tours for groups or give prospective students an insight into campus life as a student.
We actively encourage and support our students in gaining valuable practical experience during their studies and help them on their way into the professional world. There are a variety of options, such as finding internships, exploring opportunities for part-time jobs during their studies, accessing our Career Service, preparing for a possible business start-up or planning the path to a doctorate.
Whether you have questions about organising your studies, personal challenges or career prospects - our wide range of advisory services will help you along the way and leave no question unanswered. The General Students' Committee(AStA) also offers further counselling services.
Central Student Counselling Service
We support prospective students in choosing a degree programme and in making their study decision. We also advise students in all phases of their studies, especially in phases of reorientation.
We provide information about the possibilities of a stay abroad during your studies and know where you can find which information (application deadlines and procedures, internships, scholarships). We also support international students in the application process.
We provide advice on all subject-related questions and help with credit transfers. Search for the degree programme in the course offerings and then go to Contact. Here you will find the relevant contact options under "The right point of contact for every enquiry" under "Subject-related questions"/ "Credit transfer".
Service Centre for Students with Disabilities (SmB)
We advise and support students with disabilities or chronic illnesses in obtaining equal opportunities in their studies by helping them, for example, to apply for compensation for disadvantages or the needs-based implementation of stays abroad and internships.
