Student Mentor

Every first-year student will receive guidance from a student mentor appointed by the department during the first year of the Bachelor’s program.

The student mentor is a second year or third year (or further) student of the BSc program. He/she will help your with all your practical issues that may arise when you start studying at the university (e.g. registration of courses, online sources, redirection: where to find what or who and how) but he/she can also explain you about effective study skills (e.g. how to plan, how to study big books, how to prepare for exams). The student mentor will meet the students in a group meeting or individually almost every week, especially in the first semester of your first year.

As a mentor; you share your own experiences as a Computer Science student in the bachelor as well as your professional experience.

This way you contribute to the success of the students, not only at our University, but also in their future career.
