The departmental student advisory service advises on all questions concerning the study of Scandinavian Studies / Nordic Philology both in the BA program and in the Master's program (to a limited extent also in the doctoral program).
We advise you, for example, on the content, organization and structure of your studies (admission requirements, course of studies, examinations, questions of recognition, formalities of graduation, organization of studies around a semester abroad, examination regulations, examination topics, etc.). The Student Advisory Service is also your point of contact in the event of conflicts over schedules. In conflict situations with teachers, the Student Advisory Service acts as a mediator. It advises and supports you in cases of hardship (raising children, illness, caring for relatives, etc.).
In addition, the Student Advisory Service is the first point of contact for all questions that may arise in the broader context of the study situation (learning or motivation problems, structuring problems, compatibility of studies and part-time job). In some cases, the Student Advisory Service can help directly. In other cases, it can refer you to the right offices. The University of Münster has a large number of counseling services for a wide variety of concerns and problems - the Student Advisory Service will help you find the right address. No matter which question you would like to clarify at the Student Advisory Service: Anonymity is guaranteed!
Please note that it can sometimes take a few days for e-mails to be answered. Please also feel free to try to reach us by phone.
