Study advisers
Your study adviser or coordinator is an expert on all aspects of your study programme. If you have any questions or concerns about your programme, whether they be of a practical or academic nature, you can contact your study adviser.
Academic issues
Are you experiencing academic difficulties? Or are you falling behind in your studies due to personal circumstances? If so, it is essential that you speak to your study adviser/coordinator as soon as possible. He or she can advise you on the best course of action and, if required, assist you in dealing with academic delay.

- Planning your studies
- Schedule issues
- Choosing elective credits
- Requesting exemptions
- Advice on internship
For what can you contact the study advisers?
The study advisers provide students with information and advice/guidance on study-related matters, such as:
- Study and exam regulations, and petitions (e.g. exemptions)
- Study planning, approach, progress and delay
- Choice of specialisation/track
- Internships, exchange, minors and electives
- Thesis issues
- Studying with a disability
- Personal circumstances, student well-being and study skills
