Study and career guidance cohort 2024

Course goals

The goal of the tutoring community is to help every student to develop their academic attitude and behavior in terms of study approach, skills and critical reflection, defining their personal study path, and progress with their professionalism and orientation on the future.

The student obviously plays the leading role! They are in principle self-directing, but can use the Tutoring Community for information and advice.

The course ‘Studieloopbaanbegeleiding’ (or “Study and Carreer Coaching”), which includes the Tutoring Community, is meant to support the student throughout the bachelor program. It is involved in the learning path “Academic Skills” and contributes to the final bachelor terms concerning study and reflection skills (“leervaardigheden”).

At the start of the first academic year, all students are assigned a studentmentor and a teacher tutor.

In year 1, each period:
- The tutor coordinator will organize a general Studieloopbaanbegeleiding (SLB) meeting to elaborate on the relevant information regarding the bachelor program for that period.
- The studentmentor will organize a group meeting to check-in with their students, discuss any questions they might have and possibly perform a relevant exercise with regards to study planning, critical reflection or other relevant academic skills.
- The teacher tutor is available for an individual meeting, on request of the student.

In year 2 and 3:
- The tutor coordinator will irregularly organize meetings/events to elaborate on topics relevant for students in the later stages of their study, such as going abroad, the bachelor thesis & follow-up study and carreer choices.
- No further meetings with the studentmentor or teacher tutor are organized. However, students are encouraged to still call on them to personally discuss topics such as their choices concerning electives, bachelor thesis, further studies and options for their future career.
