Student Services
THE GUIDING PRINCIPLE OF STUDENT SERVICES AT FRANKFURT SCHOOL IS "WE CARE"
And this principle applies to our students' studies, personal development, experiences and other concerns. We support and advise our students throughout their studies. We also serve as a contact point for parents who wish to have contact with our university. It's worth learning more about our support concept and the services we offer our students – a valuable addition to their work, studies, and leisure time at Frankfurt School.
FOR STUDENTS
Caring Concept
Frankfurt School pursues a holistic support concept for all degree programmes, designed to ensure a great student experience. We offer all students dedicated study advisors, as well as a wide range of additional support services with subject matter experts for specialised advice (e.g., financial advice, life and health counseling, or housing questions).
Study Advisory
Our study advisors play a central role in Frankfurt School’s support activities. Each student has a dedicated study advisor who is their first and central point of contact on all matters relating to their studies and community life.
Study advisors will provide you with personal assistance during your studies. You can reach out to them for advice on anything to do with your programme, specific modules, examinations, invoices or personal challenges you may encounter whilst studying. And of course you can also contact them if you want to provide feedback on your study experience.
Language Courses
German as a foreign language, English, Chinese and more
Languages are the key to success: this applies to networking, successful studies or the best career opportunities—communication is everything.
Frankfurt School offers free weekly courses in German as a foreign language at all levels, as well as language courses in business German. To fill gaps in English, improve free speaking and academic language skills, there is a course in academic English (subject to a fee).
Additional language courses in Chinese, Spanish or French can be arranged. These courses are subject to a fee and will only take place if enough people sign up. Intensive courses in German as a foreign language are also offered during the semester breaks.

STUDENT INITIATIVES
Extracurricular student activities and community engagement play an important role at Frankfurt School. Students can represent the student body by joining the Student Council or becoming a Class Representative. Or they can gain new experiences by joining or leading a student initiative. Frankfurt School enormously appreciates students’ social and community engagement, as demonstrated by the annual FS Spirit Award.
