Yes. The University of Göttingen and cooperating institutions offer many advisory and information services, such as the central student advisory service, psychological counselling, the Career Service, counselling for students with disabilities, and statistical advice. You can find a list of all services there. If you need further information, please contact our student advisors.

The central student advisory service also offers various events, including for new students, and supports you in developing suitable learning strategies.

In addition to individual counselling and coaching, psychological counselling also offers group counselling and courses such as a coaching group for international MSc and PhD students.

News and announcements from the Institute of Computer Science can be found here. In addition, we have a blog where we post updates about degree programmes, office hours of the student advisors, special events for students, and similar topics.

There is a wide range of support for pregnant students. Please contact our student advisor Dr Anne-Kathrin Schultz for further advice and guidance on the next steps.

The Anti-Discrimination Advisory Service for Students offers a safe space to talk about your own or observed experiences of discrimination. It is intended for students who have experienced discrimination, especially because of attributed characteristics such as appearance, skin colour, origin, name, language, or religion. The goal of the counselling is to empower the person seeking advice and support them in identifying possible next steps. Every request is confidential. The needs of the person seeking advice are at the centre of the counselling process.

The peer-to-peer counselling service for trans* students at the University of Göttingen ended in December 2019. The website still provides information on gender diversity and links to counselling services.

Refugees who would like to study as regular MSc students should apply via the MSc application portal. There is an option called "special treatment" where you can upload information about your refugee status. The contact person at the Institute of Computer Science is our student advisor.

The degree programmes at the Institute of Computer Science offer many ways to personalise your studies. There is therefore no single default study plan for all students. Depending on your interests and prior knowledge, you need to create your own study plan and choose from various courses. Several criteria must of course be fulfilled. These are described in the module catalogue and will also be explained in the introductory lecture. Registered students should make an appointment for individual counselling if they need help with their study plan.
