All about everyday studies
You may adress small as well as big problems concerning your studies and ask for assistance to handle those difficulties. There is no need to let these problems lead you to a big crisis. Offerings for both, individuals and groups, are intended to strengthen self-confidence and to counteract against loneliness, isolation and the permanent feeling of not being efficient enough or not being up to the mark. If the problems can be solved step by step, there will be new perspectives and your studies can also be fun again.
Office hours: Friday: 9.15 a.m. – 11 a.m. (or by arrangement), Room 108
