At the beginning of your studies

At the beginning of the semester, numerous information events are held at the university for first-year students, which make it considerably easier for them to start their studies.
The individual institutes also offer introductory events. For further information please refer to their homepages or ask at the respective secretariats.

Above all, first-year students are strongly advised to have an individual counselling interview with the respective study advisor before the start of the semester.

Contact persons are also the student representatives (Fachschaften).

During your studies

During the entire period of study you can always talk to the respective Study Advisors of the institutes regarding subject-specific matters. If questions relating to examination issues cannot be solved in this way, please contact the Central Examination Office, which, like the Faculty Administration, is located at Keplerstraße 2 on the 2nd floor.


In the event of special problems during your studies, examinations or complaints, please contact the Dean of Studies of the Faculty.

For a change of subject after the 3rd semester, subject counselling is mandatory.
