Rights and obligations as a student?

For students, starting their studies means not only acquiring new specialist knowledge, but also exercising new rights and obligations. This may raise questions. Within the scope of her responsibility, our legal advisor at the Social and Legal advice office is happy to advise all students, who are enrolled at a Karlsruhe or Pforzheim university and are looking for answers.

We provide initial information in the event of uncertainty in the relevant legal areas and tell you which agencies you should continue to contact. Due to the many years of activity, a large network of cooperation and contact partners is available. There is no legal representation, nor is there any correspondence.
