Mentoring for Students of Religious Studies

The mentoring programme is open for all students enrolled in the B.A. Extension Curricula and M.A. in Religious Studies. During one’s studies, one might face certain challenges such as, difficulties with time-management; problems with a certain exam or the recognition of credits; questions regarding the planning and implementation of terms spent abroad; concerns about one’s choice of study programme or career prospects and personal concerns that can impede the course of the studies. Likewise, difficulties regarding the writing of a seminar paper or a thesis may also be part of a student’s academic routine. The mentor and the mentee will attempt to find solutions together and, if relevant, the mentor will provide further helpful contacts and guidance. A trustful relationship at equal footing lays the foundation for the mentor-mentee interaction. The mentoring programme is based on absolute confidentiality where all conversations are kept between the mentor and the mentee and equally, the mentees’ identity is protected.
