The International Peer Mentoring Programme supports international students during their first semester.
Participating mentees are accompanied by higher-semester mentors, who answer important questions and provide mentees with orientation at the university. International students are thus assisted on a peer level and receive support in arriving and settling in at the University of Klagenfurt.
You would like to become a mentee?
If you are an international student starting your studies at the University of Klagenfurt next semester, you have come to the right place.
Why become a Mentee?
As a mentee, you will be supported by our mentors in finding your way around the University of Klagenfurt, meeting fellow students and familiarising yourself with your studies. Mentors can also help you with study-specific questions such as choosing courses and planning your semester.
