Helpline for students

Corona, Webex conferences, online teaching, lack of campus life. For many, studying is not easy at the moment. But even apart from the current pandemic, there are situations in which you need a sympathetic ear and simply want to get things off their chest. That's why the student helpline will be launched in the summer semester of 2021.
The telephone number 0361 302 529 64 can be reached daily from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. and additionally on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.
