Mentoring
The study module "Mentoring bewegt Karrieren" of the Mentoring Program has been developed and launched in 2019 in cooperation with the University of Hamburg Business School and the Exist funding as part of the program "Potenziale heben" and is thereby aimed at selected young professionals: students in the master's program and doctoral students.
Starting in the summer semester of 2022, PhD students and postdocs can also apply for mentoring through the Hamburg Research Academy (HRA).
The applications are reviewed in advance by employees of the Institute for Marketing and subsequently forwarded to the team of the Universitäts-Gesellschaft Hamburg. Based on the application documents and a structured interview, a selection is made and an appropriate match between mentee and mentor is ensured.
The mentoring program is designed for a total of one year and should include at least three meetings during this period to enable an intensive and successful exchange.
A simultaneous membership for the Universitäts-Gesellschaft Hamburg for students with an annual fee of 20 € for the duration of the mentoring is desired.
