Counselling & Social Affairs: Studierendenwerk Bonn

Psychological counselling centre

During their studies, many students are confronted with problems and conflicting situations they can not cope with on their own. There can be various reasons for this, such as study-related topics, social conflicts or psychological stress.

Are you or a fellow student affected? Then please visit our psychological counselling. Here you will be professionally looked after by a team of psychologists with extensive experience in counselling, clinical psychology and with a psychotherapeutic background.

Freitisch

"Freitisch" - what is that?

„Freitisch“ translates to „Free table“ and means in a nutshell: free food for students in particular need or in distress. The aim was and is to help in an uncomplicated way.

The concept and the institution of the "Freitisch" are quite old. As early as the 1920s, there was a free lunch for particularly needy students in Bonn, the "Freitisch". At that time, it was organised by the Studentenwohl association, which is what the Studierendenwerk Bonn used to be called.

Freitisch for students of the University of Bonn in cases of social hardship

In 2016, we launched the "Freitisch" and established it for the first time in a cooperation with the AStA of the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn to support students of the University of Bonn in cases of social hardship. The Freitisch simply pursues the goal of avoiding hunger and thus maintaining the ability to study. Due to the current pandemic situation, we have adjusted the admission criteria.

Freitisch for students of the University of Applied Sciences (H-BRS)

In the summer of 2021, the Studierendenwerk concluded a corresponding agreement with the AStA of the University of Applied Sciences (H-BRS).

You are mastering your studies with a child and are in financial need?

Together with the AStA of the University of Bonn, the Studierendenwerk Bonn supports students with a child or several children under the age of six. If it is difficult to cover the running costs for the child, such as baby equipment or everyday needs, students can apply for the so-called Diaper Money.
