Mentoring for study choices and thesis direction
Universities are good at teaching subjects and bad at helping you choose between them. A mentoring session gives you an experienced outside view on the decisions your program won't make for you: what to specialize in, how to scope a thesis that opens doors, and how to turn a degree into a first role or a venture.
Sound familiar?
- You're choosing between specializations and every option feels both right and wrong
- Your thesis topic is too big, too vague, or picked to please a supervisor rather than your future
- Graduation is approaching and "what's next" is still a fog
- You're doing well academically but suspect grades alone won't get you where you want
What a session works on
- Mapping what you actually want from the degree — not what sounds impressive
- Scoping a thesis that is finishable and useful as a portfolio piece
- Choosing electives, exchanges, and side projects that compound
- Planning the academic-to-work transition: applications, positioning, timing
What a session gives you
“I came into the session with too many options and no clear sense of what to prioritize. Lars helped me structure the situation, compare the alternatives realistically, and identify the next step that made the most sense. I left with a clear plan I could start acting on immediately.”
“Lars quickly understood how my studies, business idea, and longer-term goals were connected. He asked the right questions, challenged some of my assumptions, and helped me turn a vague idea into a practical next experiment. The session gave me both clarity and momentum.”
Illustrative examples of what mentees work on — real founding-mentee testimonials are published here as sessions complete.
Lars has studied across NTNU, NHH, UiO, and UC Berkeley — computer science, innovation, an MBA, financial economics, and molecular medicine — and has guided students through exactly these forks in the road. One focused session usually replaces months of circling.
