Psychological Counselling at the Studierendenwerk Niederbayern-Oberpfalz

Studying often brings many changes – a new city, new friends, a new flat, a new role as a student and a new way of learning. These are all wonderful challenges – but as an international student, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. The Studierendenwerk psychological counselling team is here to listen to your concerns, big or small, and offer professional and confidential support.
