Counselling by students

Hello! Nele, I'm in my fourth semester of Culture Studies, and I'm here to answer any questions you might have, especially about the BA in Culture Studies. 

If you're feeling overwhelmed or just need a little support, I'm here to help. I can assist you with questions about Stud.IP, PABO, or the campus, or help you create a schedule for your courses. I can also help you with your study organization if you're not sure how to manage your time and tasks effectively.

If you've been studying for a while, I'm also here to help. If I'm not able to assist you directly, I'll find the right contact person to help you further.

For prospective students who are considering whether the BA in Cultural Studies is the right fit for them, I'm happy to have a conversation with you. We can share our experiences and help you clarify any questions you may have.

On social media, you can find tutorials for getting started with your studies, insights into the program, and information about organizational and content-related aspects of the program. If you have suggestions for content you'd like to see, feel free to let me know!

How can I help you today?
