Do you have a question or need help with a problem? Here are the people you can contact regarding support in your studies, curricular planning, or general complaints.
Dr. Cyprian Piskurek is subject coordinator and academic dean of English and American Studies who is

TU Dortmund University has a central complaint management system and a corresponding position in all 17 faculties. In Faculty 15, as a multi-subject faculty, there are also complaints managers in the individual teaching units, see under Module Representatives.
The general rule for the majority of all complaints is that they can usually be resolved unbureaucratically with the people involved. Therefore, if you have any problems in a course, please always first contact the lecturer or the relevant module representative.
If the matter has not been resolved in this way, you can contact Cyprian Piskurek as representative of the Complaints Management department in English.
The Student Advisory Service, or student subject counseling, is offered by all professors of English and American studies.
Dr. Maggie Glass is student advisor for English Studies. Part of her job is to advise on the course of studies and give orientation for prospective students. Feel free to contact her via email: beratung-eng.fk15tu-dortmund.de.
Dr. Pembe Şahiner is equal opportunities commissioner of Fak. 15 and Hanna Höfer is her deputy. The equal opportunities board of each faculty is responsible to support diversity and other concerns regarding TU Dortmund's gender-sensitive policy.
Please check their websites for office hours and announcements.

Fachschaft Englisch (Lehramt)
The English Student Council represents the English students at our faculty. We have members on the examination board and have a say in the use of funds. We also organize the O-Woche, as well as various activities during the semester, such as the Fiasco.
We are always happy to mediate problems between students and teachers, to advise those interested in the subject of English and of course those who are already studying English.
If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to drop by in our room (Emil-Figge-Straße 50, R. 3.221) or send us an email or Instagram DM.
