The Lower Saxony Ministry of Science and Culture (MWK) has given the go-ahead for the construction of the new Student Service Centre (SSC) at the University of Oldenburg.
The costs amount to 4.34 million euros, most of which will be covered by the MWK. The University is contributing 200,000 euros towards the costs of setting up the centre.
Construction work on the three-storey building complex will start this year on the Haarentor campus. On around 1,100 square metres, the new SSC in the immediate vicinity of the lecture hall centre A14 will house all student advisory services: the Examinations Office, the Career Service, the International Student Office, the Admissions Office and the Central Student Advisory Service. The Studentenwerk's social, disability, financial and housing counselling services are also moving into the building - as is the Psychosocial Counselling Centre, which is a joint facility of the university and the Studentenwerk.
The SSC is scheduled to open next year.
