Academic Advisor
For any questions regarding your study progress, personal problems, academic questions, and more.
Every study program has an academic advisor who knows everything about the program, the scheduling, the department, etc. For ways to plan your study program, study progress, catching up on lectures or exams because of illness, your choice of specializations and electives, please contact the department’s academic advisor. An academic advisor can also request students to come in based on study progress and they can also refer students to the student counsellor or psychologist.

First Year Mentor
For first year students a mentor is assigned by the department. This person should be your first contact point for any questions regarding the study or the university as a whole.
The student mentor is a second year or third year (or further) student. He/she will help you with all your practical issues that may arise when you start studying at the university (e.g. registration of courses, online sources, redirection: where to find what or who and how) but he/she can also explain you about effective study skills (i.e., how to plan, how to study big books, how to prepare for exams). In the first few weeks, student mentors will meet weekly with their group of first year students, and as time goes on the frequency will depend on the important topics to be discussed with first year students. If you haven't been assigned a student mentor, please contact the academic advisor of your department.
Study Management Advisor
For questions or problems concerning managing your study, such as concentration, motivation, study-rhythm, planning, organising, and much more.
Studying demands considerable independence and discipline. If you are not satisfied with your study progress or your exam results are disappointing, then the TU/e can help you improve your study output. Study management consists of various forms of support: you can make use of individual coaching from one of the study management advisors, or work in a group.
