Student counselling

Description

The educational counselling service of the City of Munich supports you with all your questions about studying - regardless of whether you would like to study for the first time after leaving school or are already studying and are thinking about changing or dropping out.

Starting your studies
If you are interested in studying, you are faced with many important decisions. We support you in your considerations and help you to gain clarity:

• Which degree programmes are suitable for me?
• Should I study at a university or university of applied sciences?
• Where can I find an overview of degree programmes and how can I apply?
• What are the pros and cons of a dual study programme?
• Is a Bachelor's degree enough or do I also need a Master's degree?
• Should I study at all or is an apprenticeship better suited to my interests?
• What do I need to consider if I have not obtained my university entrance qualification in Germany?

New orientation for students
Many students have doubts about their studies. If you have the feeling that the subject you have chosen does not suit you, or you are even thinking about dropping out of your degree programme completely, we will be happy to advise you on your options and alternatives:

• Should I change subject? Which subject might suit me better?
• What is my career goal and what are the best ways to achieve it?
• Is a university of applied sciences more suitable for me than a university?
• Should I continue my studies at all or would an apprenticeship suit my ideas better?

Financing your studies
A degree programme lasts at least three years. We will be happy to show you what financial support is available to you during this time.

• Can I apply for BAföG?
• Am I entitled to maintenance from my parents?
• Can I work alongside my studies?
