The Senior Tutor is responsible for coordinating the tutoring system and is available for any concerns you may have about your tutor or the tutoring system. The tutor team is made up of core teaching faculty members.

The tutoring programme is one of the defining features of Amsterdam University College. You are paired with a core faculty member who acts as an academic and career advisor for the duration of that student’s time at AUC. The tutoring system empowers you to navigate your studies, discover your interests, develop academically and personally, and find potential post-graduate pursuits.  

Tutors receive a group of new students each year. You will meet your tutor and the other students in your tutor group during Introduction Week and you may continue to meet as a group throughout the first year. You will also be invited to meet individually with your tutor primarily at mid-semester and during course registration. Tutors are available for additional meetings to discuss questions you may have regarding your studies.  

In addition to discussing your courses, internship and community project opportunities, study abroad programmes, and capstone, tutors can provide guidance in administrative matters, such as requesting study accommodations. As you progress in your studies, tutors can help you identify, clarify, and articulate personal, educational, and post-graduate or career values and goals. It is expected that you communicate effectively and keep appointments with your tutor.
