Psychological and Social Counseling

One initial port of call is Psychological Counseling at the Central Study Advisory and Counseling Service. You can discuss your concerns in confidence in a one-to-one session and work out potential solutions and coping methods. The psychologists are bound by their duty of professional discretion.

If you are finding that your studies are being adversely affected by a chronic physical and/or psychological condition, you can get help and advice from the representative for students with disabilities or chronic conditions.

The Office for Family Services at the University of Bonn provides advice on balancing studies and family life, childcare or the care of family members.

The central Gender Equality Commissioner provides advice and support on all gender-related issues as well as on discrimination, unfair treatment and sexual harassment.

Healthy Campus Bonn provides all students with a range of activities, seminars and counseling services about health-related issues and how to develop their own personal health skills.

The Studierendenwerk Bonn also has a psychological counseling service that students can contact and offers writing consultations to support you with all aspects of academic and scientific writing.

Anyone who would rather confide in their fellow students first of all will find a sympathetic ear at the psychosocial counseling service run by the General Students’ Committee (AStA). It also offers a wide range of services focusing on other issues and topics.
