The University

    We're here for you

    What kind of help do you need?

    If you're looking for support—whether you're going through a difficult situation or want to help someone—you'll find the right resources and options here.

    Confidentiality and Protection

    All consultations are confidential. You decide for yourself what steps you would like to take.  Contacting us does not obligate you to anything and does not automatically lead to formal proceedings.

    I need help / I want to help

    You are experiencing a situation in which you feel discriminated against, disadvantaged, harassed, or bullied. This can range from disrespectful comments to serious incidents.

    There are several ways to get support—whichever works best for you at the moment:

    - anonymously via a contact form
    - in a private meeting
    - Psychological counseling (Seezeit) 
    - through external counseling centers

     

    In cases of severe emergency

    If you are in immediate danger, please call the police at 110.

    Here's How You Can Contact Us

    Contact Form

    If you'd like to submit your inquiry in writing first, you can use our contact form—anonymously, if you prefer.
    This can be helpful if you're unsure or would like to describe your situation first without immediately entering into a conversation.

    Feel free to send us a message here; you may do so anonymously if you prefer.

    Personal Consultation

    If you’d prefer to speak with us directly, please feel free to contact our team. We’ll make sure to listen, work with you to understand the situation, and discuss possible next steps. All conversations are confidential. We are bound by a duty of confidentiality and will not take any action without your consent.

    External Counseling Services

    If you would like to seek independent advice or are looking for a different perspective, external counseling services can be helpful. These services provide confidential counseling and are independent of the university. You can use these services in addition to or as an alternative to our counseling services.
