“With the support of my mentor I have been able to enjoy and make the most of my studies. My mentor has given me confidence in my own abilities with a friendly, but critical approach. It has been a life changing experience.”
Our mentoring programme provides support to all our students, whether they are part-time or full-time, undergraduate or postgraduate. It also offers support to graduates as they transition from study to the workplace or onto further study.
Mentoring provides a space to talk, listen and for reflection. Mentors can help students build their confidence with tasks like:
- Structure and planning to achieve deadlines
- Developing effective presentation skills
- Communicating confidently in lectures, meetings or interviews
- Help with feeling overwhelmed
- Or anything else related to their personal or professional development
We support our mentors by providing:
- a 90 minute information and training session where you will learn about the programme and your role;
- a guide and resource pack for the mentoring sessions; and
- access to the mentoring team should you have any queries or questions.
We ask mentors to meet with their student mentees virtual and/or face to face, every 2 to 4 weeks over a 4 to 6 month period.
