Center for Academic Advising

The Center for Academic Advising at Universität Hamburg provides school students and prospective students who have (long) finished their schooling with information and counseling even before their university studies begin, for example, by answering questions regarding different subjects or the application process at Universität Hamburg. Interested prospective students can get advice on the recognition process for foreign secondary school qualifications and the many questions that come with starting studies in a foreign country.

In particular, we provide advice for students facing any of the many questions that may arise during the course of studies, such as increasing doubt about their degree program or fundamental changes to it.

Teachers and those interested in junior studies can find more information on our Schools and the University page.
