Life coaching is open to all students on our academic programmes. We advise and support you, acting as your first point of contact and coaching you whenever you encounter personal challenges during your studies and everyday life on campus. The support we offer ranges from rapid crisis intervention – help and support when you’re feeling overwhelmed or stressed, for example – through to short-term coaching sessions over multiple appointments.
Depending on the issues you ask us about, we either provide you with relevant information or refer you to other organisations. In our coaching sessions, on the other hand, we help you discover and develop your own personal resources so you can find your own solutions and apply them effectively.
Our students can find more information on the relevant pages in the Study Guide (Personal well-being & coaching).
While you’re studying, you may sometimes find yourself in situations where the university’s extensive range of advisory services is no longer sufficient. Typical examples of such situations include mental or physical illnesses.
If you’re experiencing psychological difficulties (such as course-related stress or burnout, or mental, emotional or illness-related stress that is impacting on your studies, including relationship issues, issues with friends or family, issues at work), Frankfurt School of Finance & Management offers you the option of a preliminary consultation at one of two clinical practices in Frankfurt, free of charge.

Our disability unit is there to help students with disabilities and students with chronic diseases who are studying at Frankfurt School of Finance & Management.
The service addresses the needs of students with conventional (e.g. physical) disabilities, but also helps students with disabilities that are not immediately obvious, including various disorders or dysfunctions (such as AD(H)D, dyslexia, chronic ailments, mental illnesses).
So if you have questions or suggestions about your course of studies relating specifically to your own personal circumstances, you are very welcome to ask for advice and help with:
This is a supplementary advisory service offered free of charge to students on Bachelor or Master degree courses or professional development programmes at Frankfurt School of Finance & Management.

We support students during pregnancy and after the birth of their child
The Maternity Protection Act (Muttrschutzgesetz - MuSchG) includes pregnant and nursing students (in the first year after the birth) to protect the health of the student as well as that of the (unborn) child. At the same time, students should be able to continue their studies. They are also eligible to take parental leave to raise their children.
Help for students who are involved in caring for relatives
If students are involved in the necessary care of relatives (their own children or other close relatives) or are registered as carers, this is an enormous double burden that can have an impact on their studies. We will be happy to discuss the options available to students on an individual basis.
