  • Your first Point of Contact at HSWT

General Subject Advisory Service

Confidential. Personal. At your side. The general subject advisory service is the central contact point for prospective students and students at the University of Applied Sciences Weihenstephan-Triesdorf. We advise, answer questions and help in challenging situations.

Inform yourself & seek advice - but decide for yourself

Anyone who wants to study has a lot of questions: What is the right degree programme for me? Where can I study what? What requirements do I have to fulfil? How do I apply?

But sometimes our students also need support with the organisation of their studies, they have detailed questions or there are problems and crisis situations. Especially when their studies are not running smoothly, they need trustworthy listeners and qualified advisors.

  • We provide competent and objective, individual and confidential advice free of charge throughout the entire student life cycle: from choosing a course of study to graduation.

  • The team offers - according to the target groups - study-related information in different formats. We have a large network and provide helpful contacts in special situations or emergencies.

  • At our information days and events, as well as during the introductory phase of studies, we offer orientation and provide information on all questions related to higher education. But we are also present at career and study fairs as close advisors.

  • On request, we are also available to school counselling teachers with an information stand and/or a lecture on study and career orientation.

Our trained, experienced and conscientious advisors take all questions and concerns seriously. They help to initiate decision-making processes and find solutions. The counselling process is transparent and comprehensible. Our counsellors undergo continuous training, because: We want to do justice to all concerns! Counselling takes place fact-to-face, by email, by telephone and online. Please make an appointment in advance.

Our network - external counselling centres

We would like to do justice to all concerns! That is why contact with other people or institutions is also very important. These networks make it possible to expand the range of services so that competent advice and support can be provided quickly and unbureaucratically. If necessary, those seeking advice are referred by the general subject advisory service.
