The Peer Metoring Programme
From the first day of your studies, you will be supervised and supported in small groups in the peer mentoring programme. You will have an experienced student as a contact for questions about studying or student life. In small groups of like-minded people, it is easier to get used to the new environment, you will make your first friends and receive tips and help with individual problems.
The mentoring groups are organised during the orientation week.
You can arrange the dates for the next meetings individually with your mentor. We recommend weekly meetings. You can meet with your group in the seminar rooms that have already been reserved in advance or choose another location that suits you best. You can decide on topics and questions yourself so that the counselling remains on a personal level.
Accompanying online course
- Registration is possible from 1 October via the university account.
- On the IMT website you will find step-by-step instructions for creating a university account as well as help if you have not received a letter with a TAN.
Your first contact: The study office
