More than 40.000 students are studying at the University of Duisburg-Essen. To improve counseling and assistance of our students, UDE offer students to participate in different mentoring programs which are coordinated by the „Zentrum für Hochschulentwicklung“. The objective of mentoring is to increase the level of study satisfaction and support students being successful in their studies. A special focus of the university-wide mentoring program is set on the support of students in the introductory phase of studies.
