Our understanding of consulting

Our consulting concept is based on the following guiding principle: We advise, you decide.

Our support is designed to help students help themselves. We offer comprehensive information, tailored advice, and individual support for prospective students, applicants, students in all phases of their studies, and future graduates.

Our advice is always

• in the interest of those seeking advice
• person-centered
• without pre-supposing any results
• confidential
• free of charge

Our understanding of counseling is based on the definition by the German Association of Student Advisors GIBeT e.V. (Gesellschaft für Information, Beratung und Therapie an Hochschulen e.V.) 

We maintain collaborations with a variety of institutions and individuals on and off campus.

Sabine Kröger (head of the Student Guidance and Counseling Service) cooperates with the following institutions and groups, among others:

• GIBeT (German Association of Student Advisors) (among others member of the management board)
• Nationwide GIBeT working group "Small Counseling Centers/Counseling Centers at small universities" (founding member, moderator)
• State-wide working group of SH student advisors (founding member)
• Employment Agency, Vocational Counseling of the Regional Group North
