During the studies in the B.A.

Doubts about studying? Drop out of your studies? The Central Student Advisory Service can help you

Especially at the beginning of the Bachelor's level, many first-year students have to orientate themselves in the academic life of a large university like the RUB, which poses considerable challenges to independent living. We would like to counteract possible initial difficulties in the subject of Educational Science by offering special support services, for example within the framework of the coupled introductory seminars or with the help of the tutorials. Nevertheless, doubts may arise: Are you perhaps fundamentally considering whether a degree programme is the right career decision for you? You may also think that "only" the choice of study subject needs to be corrected. Some may also fear that they will not be able to cope with the performance requirements in their studies.

For students who have doubts about their studies, RUB has established its own counseling and support services. These offers are aimed at all RUB students and are provided by the team of the Central Student Advisory Service (ZSB). A more detailed overview of possibilities for a possible reorientation can be found on the following website:
