As an alternative, you can schedule appointments by phone or by e-mail.

A lot of things - that is why we cannot answer this question comprehensively at this point. It depends e.g. on your health insurance status, the contractual form of your job/s and how you otherwise finance your studies. Simply come by to get advice.

Many students work alongside their studies. Usually students want to earn some money with an activity that is compatible with studying. But pay attention: Interesting student jobs are often offered as activity of an independent character, e.g. honorary jobs, and there is a lot to consider here. In the information sheet you will find the most important general information on the topic without claiming it to be complete. If you have any further questions, you are welcome to make an appointment with the social counselling department for a personal consultation.

In general, you can say that psychosocial counselling deals with issues concerning the handling of stress and difficult situations in studies and everyday life, while social counselling deals with issues of financing options, studying with children, studying with chronic diseases etc.

Many issues are in general relevant to social counselling and psychosocial counselling. The question, for instance, whether a leave of absence is reasonable due to a disease or great stress, does not only involve the aspect of how to benefit from that time to feel better and be able to study again (psychosocial counselling), but often also the problem of how to finance this period (social counselling). That is why psychosocial counselling and social counselling collaborate closely in many aspects – provided the respective student gives his or her consent.

If you are not sure which of the two counselling services to contact (first), you can describe your problem and ask for our evaluation in an studierendenberatung {{ätt}} studentenwerk-leipzig {{punkt}} de (e-mail).
