If you want to make a successful start to your studies, there are a lot of things that need to be sorted out. From Moodle to your university account - so that you don't get lost in the sea of information at the start of your studies, we will provide you with all the information you need in a compact and topic-related way during the introductory days. Not only will you get to know the institutes, lecturers and student council, but you will also be given a tour of the buildings and can network with your fellow students at various social events. So be sure to attend the events of our department during the introduction days, which take place in the first 3 days of the lecture period of the winter semester. You can find all dates and information on the website of your degree program under Introduction and Start of Studies.

When you enter the main study phase, you will have to make a number of decisions regarding your future study plans. Depending on your degree program, you can choose from various specializations and a catalog of compulsory elective modules. You can also choose from a wide range of key skills courses. It is also worth considering your Master's degree or even your career aspirations. Cécile Vonderscher and Robin Kreutz therefore offer an information event for all fourth semester Bachelor's students on entering the main study phase. You will receive an invitation by email before the start of the semester. In addition, Cécile Vonderscher for the Environmental Engineering course and the specialization coordinators for Civil Engineering are available for a personal discussion if you have any questions about the main study phase.

Are you lacking motivation to study and don't know why?
Do you want to talk about a problem in confidence and are looking for solutions?
Do you want to stop procrastinating and are looking for ways to change your study habits?
In our discussions, we work together to find individual solutions for your concerns. In doing so, we try to uncover the causes of disruptive thought and action patterns and provide targeted impetus for personal development and overcoming challenges. To do this, we usually accompany you over a longer period of several appointments. For example, we support you with decision-making or organizational problems, develop suitable strategies with you for effective time and stress management or work on problems such as exam anxiety and study doubts.
The important thing is that you determine the goal and pace of these discussions. We offer you a protected space in which everything discussed is treated in strict confidence.
Coaching process
Introductory meeting to clarify the issue (30 - 45 min).
Depending on the issue, several coaching sessions at suitable intervals (approx. 60 min. each).
If necessary, referral to further support services.

The Federal Training Assistance Grant (BAföG) is an important source of income for many of our students and provides financial security during their studies. General information, formalities, deadlines and questions about your own BAföG application can be clarified directly with the Student Services Advice Center (see link below). In addition, after the 3rd or 4th semester, proof of a certain number of credits and passed examinations must be provided in order to continue receiving BAföG funding. The department's BAföG officer, Dr. Rainer Fletling, is responsible for issuing this proof and can be contacted by email if required.
Further information on BAföG counseling at the Studierendenwerk and on the subject of student financing can be found at: https://www.studierendenwerk-kassel.de/geld/bafoeg-allgemein/bafoeg-antrag-und-beratung
