Pathways to the World – Counseling on Studying Abroad

Looking for a casual chat? Meet our faculty student councils and programme student councils in the Forum/Foyer of the Central Building

Behind the faculty and programme student councils are higher-semester students from your desired degree programme. They represent the interests of the students of the respective faculty or study programme and support them as contact persons for questions, comments, and problems. Most importantly, they are here to give you honest, first-hand insider tips about student life, courses, and what studying in Lüneburg is really like! Just drop by their booths and ask all the questions you might not want to ask the professors.

These student councils and departmental representatives will be waiting for you at an information stand:

  • Faculty of Political Science
    • Department of Political Science
    • Department of Law
    • Economics (part of the BEM student council)
