The staff at the Psychosocial Counseling (PSB) supports students in coping with personal and study-related difficulties or in preparing for challenging study and life phases.

You will usually receive an appointment for an initial consultation within a few days to a maximum of 2 weeks. In this initial consultation, your concerns will be disscussed in a calm and confidential setting. We will point out what you expect from the counseling and the scope of possible support from the PSB.
