Study advisers
Want help choosing the best extracurricular activities to meet your career goals? Or are you having a difficult time personally and need help making sure it doesn’t affect your studies? Your Maastricht University (UM) study advisor can help you get the most out of your studies and can support you academically if times get tough.
Dedicated study adviser(s) per faculty
Your faculty has at least one dedicated study adviser to guide you. They know what opportunities exist in your programme, faculty and career field. This means they can provide tailored advice to help you maximise your success. They can even work with you to develop a personalised study plan.
If personal circumstances are affecting your studies, your study advisor can provide a listening ear and connect you with other resources inside or outside your faculty for additional support such as a student dean, UM psychologist, Disability Support office or Career Services. Your conversations with your adviser are confidential, so please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Looking for an extra challenge?
Want go above and beyond in your studies and improve your career prospects? Ask your study advisor for ways to enhance your learning experience.
Facing a possible delay in your studies?
Act quickly if you think you are at risk of experiencing a delay in your studies, especially if it’s due to illness or personal issues. Notify your study adviser or the student deans as soon as possible to get the support you need. They can often help you turn things around before it’s too late.
Proactive support
If your study adviser thinks you could be struggling or at risk academically, they might reach out to you. This proactive support aims to ensure your well-being and academic progress.
