Studying can sometimes come with quite a few challenges:

You have to take exams, pay your fees and cope with the day-to-day madness of student life. It doesn’t always go smoothly – what if you don’t have the money for your tuition fees? How do you actually apply for BAFöG? And what do you do with your children when you have to go to university? And what can I do if I suffer from exam anxiety or want to take a semester off? Who can I turn to if I’ve been discriminated against? We can help! Our advisors and staff from the areas of study and teaching, teacher training, social affairs, anti-racism and equality are always here for you.

We advocate on your behalf with the relevant departments at the university. Our advice is always anonymous and free of charge. The AStA operates on a voluntary basis and none of us are qualified lawyers, so we cannot give you any binding guarantees. Nevertheless, we know how to navigate university structures and have a wealth of experience with a wide variety of situations, enabling us to support you as best we can.
