Study advisers

General

The study advisers for all English-taught programmes are part of the Faculty’s International Office. The study advisers can help you with any questions which have a (possible) relation with or have consequences for your study programme.
Next to advising about your study programme, the study advisers can also arrange for the Faculty to possibly take personal situations (e.g. illness or other special circumstances) into consideration. The study advisers can also be a guide to finding other organs within the University. The study adviser also would like to think along with you when it comes to study planning and additions to your programme (e.g. extracurricular activities).

The study adviser can help you with

• Study choice;
• Questions about study planning and options in case of delay or extra course units (e.g. study abroad, extra courses or internships);
• Difficulties starting up/keep going when studying;
• Discuss the possibilities of extra facilities;
• Illness which can influence your studies;
• Mental problems;
• Personal circumstances, like divorce, deaths, illness in the family;
• ... and for any other questions which have a (possible) connection to your study programme.
