Advisory services

Academic advice by the faculty

• The first port of call for questions related to your studies, especially if you are not satisfied with your progress, is your programme advisor (BEC, BIN, BWI, MIS).
• The programme advisors are also the chairpersons of the examination committees, so they are able to give advice if you think of applying form an extension of deadlines.Opens internal link in current window
