Prospective students and students with chronic illnesses/disabilities/impairments generally find considerably better framework conditions today than they did a few years ago. However, compared to other students, they usually have many additional problems to solve and often have to compensate for structural deficits in higher education as well as overcome existing barriers. Prospective students and students with chronic illness/disabilities/impairments often have specific information, counseling and support needs. We recommend that you make use of the following services at an early stage.
The office is the university's central point of contact for prospective students, applicants and students with chronic illness/disability/impairment. We inform, advise and support you (especially through conversations, individual trial visits, statements, service offers and events) in matters related to your disability or illness.
Frequently requested counseling topics are:
On request and by appointment, interpreters, handwriting mediators or other communication aids can be used during discussions.

The Central Student Advisory Service and Psychological Counseling offers information, orientation and counseling for prospective students and students on the preparation, implementation and completion of a course of study at the University of Hamburg. Many students also experience difficult personal life phases or acute stress and crisis situations during their studies, which cannot always be overcome on their own.
Psychological psychotherapists with a variety of different psychotherapeutic orientations and methods work in the Central Student Advisory Service and Psychological Counseling. Due to their many years of employment at the university, they are particularly familiar with the problems of the student life situation as well as with all questions of general student counseling. Students can turn to us with all study-related difficulties and personal concerns that affect their studies.
