Tutors contribute to a successful academic environment at the University of Maribor. Tutoring offers many benefits, both for those who offer help and for those who receive it.
The goal of the institutional tutoring system at the University of Maribor is to create the conditions for more active participation of all students in university life and to help them solve their study problems, from enrolment in a study programme to graduation. The tutoring system is also integrated with other support activities related to the implementation and quality assurance of the study process and student support services, so that you can be referred to the appropriate addresses for more complex challenges you may face during your studies.
