Tutor

Before the start of education, you will be assigned a tutor. A tutor is a teacher from the programme with whom you will have discussions during your study outside teaching hours about study progress, elective education and (content-related) study planning. 

Who is my tutor?

Within the SEC programme, Liesbeth de Bakker (e.p.h.m.debakker@uu.nl) and Koos Bax (j.b.bax@uu.nl) are the tutors. Emma Versteegh (e.a.a.versteegh@uu.nl) and Gjalt Prins (g.t.prins@uu.nl) are tutors for the teacher track students. You can find your tutor in OSIRIS Student.

What can I contact the adviser for?

The tutor is available for questions regarding:

  • the contents and level of the Master’s programme
  • study progress (results, difficulties, changes)
  • the options you have and choices you have to make within the Master’s programme
  • exam requirements and curriculum planning

Meetings with your tutor

The tutor will invite you twice (October and February) to discuss your study programme and study progress, some of which may take place in a tutor group. But of course you can also request an interview yourself.

Personal matters

If there are personal matters that affect your study progress, the tutor is not your first point of contact. In that case, it is better to make an appointment with the study advisor. If necessary, the study advisor can refer you back to the student dean or student psychologist.
