Office hours / contact

Dear students, we naturally want to offer you the best possible service in our teaching, which is why you are welcome to visit our office for a consultation at any time. Unfortunately, we cannot promise that we will be able to address your concerns immediately.

We therefore recommend that you contact us by email, or by phone in urgent cases. In any case, you should name the course in question and describe your concern clearly in your inquiry.

In the table below, you will find a list of the courses that fall within my area of responsibility. If you have questions about another course, please contact the respective contact person first (you can find the contact persons here).
