Contact Persons at FHWS

During your studies, you will encounter questions or issues that need to be solved. We at FHWS offer several counselling options.

General support

In the following section, you can find contact persons who can help you with information about the life at FHWS and in Germany. They can also help you if you are not clear who the correct contact person for your question is.

When you have a question, please take into account the logical order of your contact persons. If you have a question, please contact your Buddy first. If they do not know the answer or if you do not have a Buddy, please contact one of the GAT tutors, and so on.
