The open consultation hours are our "quick" advising and counselling format for issues of all kinds, especially urgent cases. There is no need to make an appointment. Please note that you might have to wait until one of our counsellors is available.
When?
Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 12 noon
Thursday from 2 to 4 p.m.
Please first check-in at the Info-Point when you arrive at the Student Service Center!
If necessary, you may arrange an appointment for one or more follow-up sessions during your open counselling session.
All counselling sessions are confidential.
Counselling by Appointment
Who should take advantage of it?
We recommend arranging an appointment for less urgent matters that feel particularly “serious” or seem particularly difficult and complex. It is also wise to arrange an appointment if you will be traveling a long distance to obtain information about studying at the University of Freiburg.
How?
To arrange a couselling appointment, please call our telephone hotline at +49 (0)761/203-4246
or fill out our online appointment request form [de]4
Counselling appointments are usually scheduled to last one hour. As a rule, appointments are arranged a maximum of three weeks in advance.
Depending on the topic of the counselling session (e.g., orientation advising), our advisors might contact you beforehand to let you know how you can prepare for the session.
All counselling sessions are confidential.
