Mental Health
Mental health is the state of thinking, feeling and behaving in a way that meets our needs best – in our personal lives with family and friends, at university, at work and in society. It is normal to experience occasional anxiety, mood swings, or loneliness.
Mental stress can range from to:
- Difficulty working, motivating and concentrating
- Exam anxiety & panic attacks | excessive demands & pressure to succeed
- Exhaustion & burnout | depressive moods & suicidal thoughts
- Acute crisis situations (separation, partnership, death, illness, criminal cases, accidents, care needs, financial difficulties, etc.)
- Mobbing | sexual harassment | conflicts & threats towards other students and/or lecturers
- Difficulty adjusting & orienting to new/foreign environments
- Addictions | eating disorders
- Loneliness | social isolation
The good news is, that there are many proactive steps you can take to feel better. You will find basic Mental Health information, ways to take care of yourself and contact to personal support services on this page.

Support services
When you're in the midst of everyday study life, everyone knows that studying isn't always fun; there are ups and downs, such as motivation lapses, anxiety, stress, relationship crises, illnesses, and much more. Sometimes the challenges get out of hand and endanger mental health and thus also a successful course of studies. Depending on the situation and the person, different steps are helpful.
Our funding pot supports MCI students with psychological treatments to facilitate access to mental health care. The aim is to provide financial assistance for those students who do not receive free therapy and whose insurance benefits are insufficient.
