Health

Bielefeld University provides a comprehensive and diverse programme of health, counselling and prevention services for students and employees.

Psychological counselling by the Central Student Advisory Service (ZSB)

The staff of the Central Student Advisory Service (Zentrale Studienberatung — ZSB) assists students and doctoral candidates in overcoming personal problems or crises. This support can take the form of one-on-one, couple or group discussions. Typical topics are particular stresses and strains during the doctoral phase, conflicts in decision-making, contact difficulties, feelings of overload and/or psychosomatic complaints, as well as upheavals in the student's life plan. Teachers who wish to support students under stress can also seek advice.
