Are you an active and responsible student with a strong capacity for cooperation? Do you want to accumulate experience as a group leader? Do you want to meet new people and explore the international dimension of your home university? Do you want to support new students get started with their studies?
As a tutor, you play a key role in welcoming new students to the university and ensuring they develop a strong commitment to the university community and their studies. As a tutor, you will act as a group leader and you will be part of the university’s guidance and counselling system along with university personnel. Tutors receive a tutoring fee of 180 euro. First-time tutors also receive academic credits for their initial training.
Tutors will be needed at the beginning of both the spring and the autumn terms.
The ideal tutor is an enthusiastic, responsible and enterprising student with an interest in leadership. A tutor should be familiar with the general way things work at the university. However, you don’t have to know everything before you begin — the faculties provide training for all new tutors.
If you are applying to become an international tutor for exchange students or international bachelor's and master's degree students, we require a good command of English. In addition, we also hope that our international tutors have completed their first year of study.
