Mentoring

In an interdisciplinary Master program, mentoring is an important component of student success. Students have different backgrounds and future career aspirations. Mentoring allows for a more specific focus on students’ orientation within the program and their targeted career perspectives.

Student-mentor pairs are assigned at the start of the program based on undergraduate studies and professional background.

The first mentoring meeting is mandatory. Students are advised to use the orientation questions to prepare for the first mentoring meeting (see Mentoring Guide). Initial mentoring meeting should take place in the first six weeks of the first semester. After the meeting the mentors submit a signed form to the Student’s office.

Further meetings, depending on the student’s needs, will take place based on individual agreements between mentor and mentee. Appointments are made via email or phone.
