Central Student Counselling Service

If you have any questions regarding orientation and decision-making for a degree programme - for example regarding the choice of subject, application and admission, the requirements of a degree programme, the compatibility of studying and your personal situation, financing your studies, changing subjects or alternatives to studying - you can contact the Central Student Advisory Service at the HdM.

Individual counselling

Do you have a topic that you would like to discuss more intensively? For example, on clarification, decision-making and solution processes? Then simply book an individual counselling session! Individual counselling sessions usually last up to 50 minutes. Depending on the topic, we will of course adapt the time to your needs and will also be happy to arrange a follow-up appointment.

Prospective students simply send us an e-mail and we will send you an appointment suggestion.
