Programme advisers

If you have more general questions about your degree programme, particularly if you are a new student, you should talk to the Academic Advice Service instead.

Programme advisers are typically lecturers or other academic members of staff of the respective chairs. You should contact your programme adviser if you are at an advanced stage of your degree programme and need advice on switching to another discipline or programme, changing to another university or after failing an examination.

Moreover, the programme advisers can help you when it comes to choosing specialisations/focus options in your degree programme, particularly for postgraduate programmes.

Please make an appointment before visiting the programme advisers.
