Did you actually know...

… that the weekly meetings of the active student council—that is, the group that advocates for students’ interests within the department—are open to the public? This semester, these meetings take place every Wednesday from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. in our student council room 1005 at Kurt-Wolters-Straße 5.
… that BA students can have additional key competencies credited toward their degree for their work on the student council?
… that for students receiving BAföG, participating in student council work can extend the standard period of study by up to two semesters?
… that it’s generally pretty cool to be able to actively bring about improvements in the study conditions for all of us?

If you’d also like to volunteer in the department or just want to “check it out,” simply send us a message at fachschaft02@uni-kassel.de or stop by one of our meetings with no obligation. We look forward to seeing you!

Important information for the Vocational School Teaching Program (L4 Bachelor’s): The study of the second major usually does not begin until the third semester. Of course, all first-semester students in this program are still welcome to attend our orientation; however, scheduling classes for Catholic Religion, for example, is not yet relevant for you at this point.

If your degree program is not listed above, we do not offer a separate orientation for it. This mainly applies to the master’s programs in our department. In this case, we would like to direct you to the orientation session led by the faculty members; you can find the date on your degree program’s page. Nevertheless, you are warmly invited to attend our bachelor’s orientation sessions if, for example, you’d like to get to know the campus or your fellow students.


Student counseling during the lecture-free period

Even during the break from classes, we’d like to be there for you with advice and support. Although we won’t be holding weekly office hours during this time, you can still schedule a consultation with us (via Zoom or in person) by emailing beratung.fsr02[at]uni-kassel[dot]de. Of course, you’re also welcome to email us your questions directly.

Our counseling appointments for the 2026/27 winter semester will be announced here and on our social media channels at the start of the semester.

Until then, we hope you enjoy your break from classes, and we’re available by email at any time if you have questions.
