Study guidance
Because master students are already used to studying, we do expect responsibility for their own learning progress. But when students are facing issues that affect their studies, we are there to help and support. So in case of study delay, personal issues or just regular questions, students can contact the study advisor. Students can also call upon several university services for support.
Our staff is approachable. During the master thesis research project a student is supervised one-on-one. The overall thesis process is monitored in the Master Class.
