Introduction to the Mentoring Program

The Mentoring Program at the Department of Philosophy and Humanities is designed to support students in their first semester/year of study. The program aims to provide students with a successful start to their studies, offer guidance on study organization, and help them develop learning strategies.

Objectives of the Mentoring Program

The main objectives of the program are to:
