Tutor Teaching

All students have a personal tutor teacher appointed by the faculty. Tutor teacher's task is to guide and advice you, in particular, in the early stages of studying.

General information

Together with your personal tutor teacher, you can plan your studies, prepare your personal study plan (PSP)  and evaluate the progress of your studies. The tutor teacher will introduce to you your field of studies, occupational issues and important questions in working life. You will meet your tutor teacher either individually or in small groups. The tutor teacher follows the student's academic progress at least through the Bachelor's degree phase.

If you don't know who your tutor teacher is, please contact Academic Affairs Service Team.
