Student counsellors
Our student counsellors are the confidential and easily accessible point contact point for all questions concerning study attitude, study planning and study skills. They offer guidance to students – mainly from the first year of the bachelor degree programs – in their search for solutions to study related issues. They are also responsible for substantive questions concerning several courses of the first year of the bachelor programs.
Learning path counsellor
The learning path counsellor follows and accompanies the complete study career of students at the faculty of Political and Social Sciences, from the initial study choice up to the graduation. After the first bachelor she functions as an immediate contact person for information and advice.
Faculty student administration (FSA)
The Faculty Student Adminstration (FSA) is responsible for the academic aspects of the student data, mainly the curriculum and the results of the student.
