Training
firstgen informs you about university life, academic practice and successful communication. The strategies you will learn about here should help you to cope with potential challenges and enable you to successfully plan your career.
Mentoring
firstgen establishes the first contact between you and a mentor, who will support you individually during your studies. Your mentor has started her degree as a first generation student and is now a Master’s or PhD student. You can discuss important questions with your mentor and discover the nice sides of university life, celebrate successes and overcome challenges together.
