Services
Student services
- Study guidance and counselling are given by Student Services, degree programmes and departments.
- Each student on a master’s or bachelor’s degree programme is appointed a teacher tutor. The main goal of tutoring is to ensure that studies progress as planned. A tutor supervises and guides a student in carrying out and planning studies in a goal-oriented way. A tutor also monitors the progress of studies so that, should any problems arise, they can be addressed at an early stage.
- Student tutors are older students who are involved in new students’ orientation to the university and to studies.
