Stay connected

Many of our alumni with work experiences have signed up to assist recent graduates in the search for hands-on knowledge: how do I find a job? How does applying for jobs work?  How do I build a network? And so on. Wouldn't it be interesting for you to get in touch with an experienced alumnus/-a with a similar background?

The mentor program also offers several advantages for PhD students. Given that PhD students have performed their work (partly) externally and internally, it may be useful to come into contact with like-minded people through this program. The PhD mentoring program facilitates contact between PhD students in an informal way and focuses on involvement with the Alma mater. On the other hand, it is possible for PhD candidates to support the current generation of PhD candidates. Interested in one or both options?
