My name is Rebekka and I’m the student counsellor for media students in Dieburg. My main tasks include listening, advising and helping students find the right person to contact. 

If you come across a problem during your studies and would prefer to discuss it with a fellow student first, or if you’re simply looking for information and don’t know where to find it, please feel free to message me.

Whatever the nature of the problem, I’ll do my best to help you!
