Tutors support teaching education in all faculties at the Hochschule Niederrhein and accompany students as they embark on their studies. In order to avoid "jumping in at the deep end", they are methodically and didactically prepared for their assignment in the university-wide tutor program. The program takes place both digitally and in person. This qualification also offers the opportunity to acquire the certificate for tutors.
The individual seminars in the tutoring program are tailored to the relevant target groups. For example, first-semester tutors are trained with regard to a successful introductory week; subject tutors receive valuable methodological-didactic tips regarding the design of their subject tutorials. Repetitors acquire important tools for advising and accompanying learning groups. eTutors are qualified for support in digital teaching education. An exchange of experiences among each other is guaranteed in every seminar.
By participating in the tutoring program, you will not only expand your professional skills, but also your social, methodological and personal competencies, thus acquiring valuable key competencies for your studies and career. Take your chance!
We are looking forward to meeting you!

Our brochure Tutoring Program from A - Z provides a comprehensive overview.
And by the way:
Since February 2024, the tutoring programme has been the first of its kind in Germany to be reaccredited by the Accreditation Commission of the German Association for Higher Education Didactics (akko dghd): "On the one hand, the nationwide networking and visibility of the programme has made a positive impression. On the other hand, the good anchoring of the tutoring programme at the university [...] should be emphasised. In the discussion round, the Vice President for Studies and Teaching emphasised the programme as an integral part and as 'integral and identity-forming for the university'". (Resolution of the Accreditation Commission of 15.02.2024) The conclusion: "The tutoring programme radiates far beyond the borders of the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences and thus acts as a beacon for the establishment of comparable structures of measures in studies". (Reaccreditation report from 22/01/2024)
