Social Counselling Service for International Students

We have an open ear for students! During a personal meeting we are looking for solutions together concerning personal, social or economical obstacles. We offer support and advice for international students regarding, e.g. the ARD ZDF Deutschlandradio Broadcasting Contribution, concerning the correspondence with public authorities or the financing of studies, but also in regard to studying with children or studying with disabilities.

The counselling is free of charge and is bound to professional discretion. Counselling sessions can be held in German or English.

For general questions, please feel free to come by during the open office hours. In more complex situations please arrange an individual appointment with us via email or phone beforehand.

To make it easier for international students to access relevant information and to get to know other useful contact points, we have compiled the following overview for you. Here you will find useful information on residence permits, broadcasting contribution, health insurance, jobs in/after your studies, dictionaries, lists of English-speaking doctors and much more.
If your questions or concerns cannot be answered here, please do not hesitate to contact us!
