Mentor counseling for QST 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. Participation in the mentoring program is voluntary and highly recommended. To get the most out of this mentoring program, it is highly recommended that students seek out a mentor at the end of the first semester or at the beginning of the second semester.
The mentor counseling in the Master’s program Quantum Science & Technology 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 to the person in question by e-mail or speak to him/her after a lecture and ask if he/she will take on the mentorship. The possible mentors are listed below.

For mentor counseling, see the notes for mentors and information for each part of the curriculum below.
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.
