The Psychological Counseling Service is funded by the Studierendenwerk Erlangen-Nürnberg and the Sozialwerk der Katholischen Universität Eichstätt-Ingolstadt e. V.
A small fee is charged for counseling sessions (10 euros for individual sessions, 15 euros for couples’ and family sessions). Students may be exempt from paying this fee in cases of financial hardship.
If necessary, counseling sessions can also be offered in English.
Students at the Ingolstadt School of Management can contact the Psychological Counseling Service of the Studierendenwerk Erlangen-Nürnberg at TH Ingolstadt (Counseling sessions according to capacity).
