Mentor Scheme
Full course description
The Mentor Programme in the second year continues to help you to become a successful student. In the first year, the focus was on how you study. In the second year, the focus rather is on what you (want to) study and how this relates to your individual plans and goals. Through individual meetings with your mentor and through plenary information sessions, we support you in making key choices in your second and third year, in light of what you want to achieve in and after your study.
