Mentor counseling for BEMP Master students

From the beginning of their studies, Master students can receive advice from a mentor. It is advisable to choose a mentor working on topics potentially interesting for a later Master’s Thesis.

The mentor counseling in the Master’s program Biomedical Engineering and Medical Physics aims to support the students selecting the best modules within their studies.

A mentor can help you in defining and putting together an individual study plan (e.g. when choosing the modules of the focus areas). It makes sense to select the mentor from the research area you'll want to focus your studies in. You may change your mentor at any time. Write an e-mail to the person in question or talk to her/him after a lecture and ask if he/she will be a mentor. The possible mentors are listed below.

We recommend to choose your mentor at the beginning of your studies. You have to hand in the certificate of mentor counseling latest, together with the registration of the research phase (typically at the beginning of the third semester), in the Dean’s Office of the TUM School of Natural Sciences. You will find the Dean's Office and the Office of Student Affairs at James-Franck-Str. 1, coming from the main entrance, in the corridor on the right on the left side with the room numbers 5101.EG.250 (PH 2250) to 5101.EG.254 (PH 2254).

Please use the following program specific form:

The form 'Certificate of Mentor Counseling' can be a guideline for the discussion with your mentor.

Notes for mentors:

You should have an overview of the courses offered by the colleagues in your research area.

As a mentor you may expect initiative by the students. You do not need to provide a perfectly elaborated curriculum. You are counselor and give advice whether the module selection of the student makes sense or if they should consider and look out for further options.

Please note the information in the Wiki article on mentor counseling in the Master's degree programs of the Professional Profile Physics.
