Benefits of mentoring
University is an exciting yet challenging time – meeting new people and making friends, learning new skills and dealing with new pressures. Even the simplest things like finding your way around campus can be a big task. Who knows uni life better than anyone else? Other students of course! That's why student mentors make a huge difference.
What is a student mentor?
Your student mentor will be a student who has completed first year. They can answer your questions and help you settle into university life – from general study tips and great places to eat to where to go if you need support.

Your mentor will help you to access the services on campus and can be someone you can talk to about your experiences and studies.
