Social & Psychological Counselling Service from Student Services

The support and counselling of students regarding social, financial, personal and study-related problems are at the focus of the Social & Psychological Counselling Service from Student Services.

These problems can often be complex and of many different kinds. Whatever the problem, it makes sense to arrange an appointment with a counsellor or psychologist. The conversations are handled confidentially and serve individual clarification and orientation and should make decision making easier.
