We are here to answer your questions
The Student Counseling Center (ZSB) is the University of Stuttgart’s professional counseling center for all matters concerning prospective and current students.
In our counseling, we focus entirely on your interests and your personal situation. We provide information and guidance to help you choose the right course of study, support you as you begin your studies, and assist you in successfully completing your university degree.
We are also on-hand to support you if you have doubts or encounter difficulties during your studies. We help you find suitable solutions and then decide what the next step might be.
