Department of Financing of studies and social affairs

- For you and with you against every problem -

Hey! Are you having financial or social problems? Or would you like to help others facing these challenges? Then you've come to the right place!

We at the Department of Financing of studies and social affairs provide advice, information and support to students at TU Chemnitz who are dealing with social or financial issues. We can help you with topics such as BAföG, other ways of financing your studies, part-time jobs, internships or studying with children.

Our Topics

  • Everything about BAföG, such as changing your degree programme and appealing BAföG decisions
  • Help with applications related to social and financial matters during your studies
  • Legal questions concerning part-time jobs, internships, health insurance and social security
  • Keeping up with relevant social policy developments
  • Taking part in discussion groups on topics such as studying with children, equality and more
  • Events on social and student-related topics, such as talks on student financing or workshops

You and we together - possibilities to participate

We're always happy to welcome new motivated people! If you'd like to help and advise fellow students, expand your knowledge by attending seminars or organise events, feel free to join us!

Consultation - when, how, where?

We currently don't have regular consultation hours. Just send us an email with a short description of your concern, and we can arrange an individual appointment. Either in person at the StuRa office (Thüringer Weg 11, Room 006) or online.

We're students ourselves and do our best to help you to the best of our knowledge and ability. When it comes to legal questions, we can offer initial guidance, but we can't replace professional legal advice.
