Academic Advisor

Academic advisors assist students in finding solutions to any problem encountered while studying and provide information about the degree programme. They are here to help you find your way in and around your degree programme. The academic advisor is also available for assistance, in case you have questions about (the preparation for) your degree programme.

If you have questions about the courses in your pre-Master’s programme, you should contact the academic advisor of the bachelor programme these courses belong to. If you have questions about your pre-Master’s programme in general, you should contact the academic advisor of the Master’s programme you will later be entering. In some cases, the academic advisor will be the same for both.

The Academic Advisor for the Biology, Marine Biology, Ecology and Evolution, and Biomolecular Sciences master's degree programme is Maartje Giesbers. You can contact her for any questions about your pre-master Biology programme. She will be personally available during your programme introduction, and can be contacted by email as well: academicadvisor.MScBIO rug.nl. Note that her presence is limited during the summer holidays, from 29 July to 12 August. Please first check our online contact information to find out how/where you can find a solution or answer.

• For general questions about registration, tuition fee payment, etc, please contact UG's Information Services.
• For any other questions, you may contact the Faculty's Student Administration Desk. PLEASE NOTE: Between July 15 and August 15, it may take longer than usual to answer phone calls or email, due to summer leave.
