We’re the (freely translated) autonomous department for gay, bisexual and transgender students at the TU Dortmund University. During the lecture period we organize weekly events such as talks, parties or games nights. Due to the current pandemic we give our best to transfer that program to the digital space and are meeting online only.

Beyond that, we’re busy networking with other people and organizations within Dortmund and NRW. We will gladly offer you personal and confidential counseling regarding topics such as coming-out and discrimination. You’ll find more information and all events on our homepage.

Find here a list of specific topics:

  • Familial stress
  • Stalking

Or any other strains that burden you and make studying difficult. If wanted or needed for a helpful counseling, any other person can join the session, men too. 

And always keep in mind: If the house is already burned down, it’s too late to start looking for water. Meaning, please come by even when things don’t seem totally out of your control yet, so we can make sure they never get there in the first place. 

Additionally: Men are allowed to come to counseling by themselves if they are fathers and have questions regarding studying with a child. The counselor also offers the possibility of connecting with other parents to, if wanted, organize shared child minding. 

Counseling can take place in German or in English.
