The Psychotherapeutic Counselling Centre for Students is a facility of the Student Services Centre of Goethe University Frankfurt. Services are primarily geared towards students at the university with a personal issue who are looking for someone to talk to. By this we mean study-related difficulties (exam nerves, disruptions to work, etc.), personal problems (e.g. relationship conflicts, identity issues) or psychological disorders (e.g. depression, anxiety, addiction). Counselling services range from crisis intervention when a student feels personally overburdened to short-term interventions (e.g. before examinations) to coaching (e.g. in conjunction with bereavement or separation).
The International Office is responsible for questions related to studying abroad and the first port of call for students coming from abroad and studying at Goethe University Frankfurt. You can find information here about the Erasmus+ programme of the Faculty of Social Sciences.
Frankfurt Student Services runs cafeterias and halls of residence. It is also responsible for student grants under the Federal Education and Training Assistance Act, student job placements and the Semester Ticket Hardship Fund. It also advises on financial, legal, social and psychosocial issues.
The Writing Centre helps students to develop academic writing and reading skills. You can obtain individual advice on your own writing projects and attend academic writing workshops and courses.
Academic skills training at Goethe University Frankfurt offers students an opportunity to acquire skills in basic studying techniques and to reflect on and productively develop their own student experience and conduct in the group. For this purpose, workshops are offered every semester, e.g. on self-management and work strategies.
