Advisory Services
In our faculty, it is crucial that your studies run smoothly and you do not encounter any problems. However, studying for a Master's degree, especially abroad, can lead to various challenges. Therefore, we offer an overview that helps you find the right contact person quickly and easily.
Program Coordinationteam
The Marepol has a coordination team consisting of Prof. Matthias Kortmann (Chair of the Examination Board), Magdalena Franz (Marepol Student Advisory), and Ian Singendonk (Student Assistant). If you have any questions that are not addressed in the FAQ, please do not hesitate to contact us via email.
International Office and Student Advisory Service
The International Office is the primary contact for international students regarding all questions related to studying in general, but not concerning Marepol. For example, questions about applications, enrollment, and finances such as scholarships and grants. Below you will find an overview of the various counseling options offered by the International Office.
The Student Advisory Service of TU Dortmund University has listed various counseling services you can contact via e-mail. These services range, for example, from contact persons at the Department of Disability and Studies (DoBuS) to social counseling services for students with financial, social, or family issues or questions about their residence status.
Central Equal Opportunity Representative
Questions, concerns, or suggestions about gender equality, pregnancy during the master's program, or the compatibility of your studies and your family are essential matters that you can discuss with all our teaching staff and/or -of course- with our Equal Opportunities Representative. The Equal Opportunity Representative, Lara Westermeyer is the contact person for equality-related matters in the Faculty of Humanities and Theology.
Student Representatives
For student inquiries, you are welcome to contact any of the faculty's student representatives at any time. Since the faculty consists of three institutes, three student representatives are at your disposal. Current information on the specific student representatives as well as contact details can be found on the respective websites. (At the moment, some of these websites are in German. The student representatives will soon provide information in English.)
Student representatives of the Institute of Philosophy and Political Science
Student representatives of the Institute of Protestant Theology
Student representatives of the Institute of Catholic Theology
The Institute of Philosophy and Political Science student representatives organize an 'Orientation Week' for new students at the beginning of each semester. This usually includes, among other things, a campus tour, a 'get-to-know-evening,' and the opportunity to ask questions about studying at the Faculty of Humanities and Theology in general.
Furthermore, the ASTA (General Student Committee) also offers Counseling for International Students on various topics.
