The Student Advice Center Basel is an independent service for enrolled students of the University of Basel with personal or psychological problems.

We offer psychological counseling on subjects such as:

• Orientation help
• Decision-making conflicts
• Work organization, time management
• Examination stress, learning difficulties
• Mental blocks and anxiety
• Personal and psychological problems during studies

The counseling service does not include psychotherapeutic services. Depending on your needs and complexity of your situation, we offer support in finding a psychotherapeutic specialist. 

For students with disabilities, chronic illness or mental health conditions, the service point "Students without Barriers" (StoB) at the University of Basel offers counseling, information and support in organizing compensating for disadvantages (Nachteilsausgleich). Counseling is also free of charge and confidential.

In our information center at Steinengraben 5 in Basel, you will find selected books and practical guides on learning and working strategies as well as mental health. A small selection of English guides and recommendations is also available.

Our services are aimed at enrolled students at the University of Basel. Counseling is free of charge and confidential.
