Taking up university study goes hand-in-hand with many changes. Everything is new: your environment, friends and acquaintances, where you live, your new role as a student and a completely new way of learning. All of these are nice challenges – but particularly as an international student it's easy to feel overwhelmed. The psychological counselling team at the Studierendenwerk (Student Services Association for Lower Bavaria and Upper Palatinate) has an open ear for all your concerns – be they large or small – and supports you professionally and confidentially.
The easiest way to request an appointment is by sending an email to psychologische-beratung@stwno.de
We listen. We accompany. We support. Pastoral care. Guidance.
Everyone is faced with new challenges. Turning points in life, crises or repetitive questions.
We offer help and support. Students and employees can contact us at any time.
The Chaplaincy at the University of Passau exists to promote spiritual and social wellbeing. It is open to everyone – students and staff – from all backgrounds and cultures. People of all faiths and no religious faith are welcome.

The Fachschaft GeKu (Humanities and Cultural Studies student committee) addresses mental health related matters with their initiative "Studimental".

"Kopfsache - Ausgeglichen durchs Jurastudium" is a student group which aims to address mental health issues among law students.
We are all law students in different semesters at the University of Passau or have already completed the first state exam. Therefore, we can very well relate to your fears and negative feelings - especially during the pandemic - and have likely experienced them ourselves.
Nightline Passau: We are a nightly helpline, run for students, by students. Sometimes, talking to a neutral listener can be relieving, and that is what we're here for. Our main objective is building a completely anonymous, non-directive safe space for you, where we can listen to whatever is weighing you down, strictly confidentially, and without judgement or pressure. You don't have to tell us your name and can remain as anonymous as you want to.
