About the scheme
Mentorordningen at the University of Bergen is offered to new students at the start of their studies. First-year students are organised into small mentor groups led by more experienced students. Mentors help new students become familiar with the university, the study environment, academic expectations and practical aspects of student life.
What the scheme offers
- Small mentor groups that provide safer social meeting points and easier access to fellow students' experience.
- Peer-to-peer follow-up with regular meetings to support both social belonging and academic integration.
- Practical and academic orientation about daily student life, expectations for studies and resources available at the university.
The specific organisation varies between faculties and study programmes, but the main objective is clear: to support a smoother transition to university studies and to foster social and academic belonging.
