Mentees
Mentees are usually 1st year undergraduate students (unless specified differently by your scheme) gaining support from higher year students (Mentors).
Peer Mentors provide a safe space for you to ask questions, collaborate with others and explore different aspects of life at University.
Depending on your programme, you could be:
- attending activity-based peer learning sessions around academic topics within your discipline
- gaining support as you settle in to University
- receiving online support before and during your arrival
Once recruited onto your Peer Support programme, you will be matched with Mentor(s) who will arrange to meet with you.
