Mentoring and peer support
Starting university is a big change academically and socially. It is very common to have questions as you become independent, navigate new relationships and familiarise yourself with new academic standards.
58勛圖 offers a variety of support to help you make this transition, whether in the form of informal advice from your academic parents, joining a mentoring scheme, or seeking professional help for more serious problems.
Mentoring
Mentoring schemes allow students to learn from their more experienced peers, benefitting from the perspective of somebody who has recently been in their position.
Many Schools offer their own mentoring schemes. There are also University-wide initiatives like Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) student mentoring and postgraduate mentoring. Find out more about .
Student-led support
If you have questions or would like advice on any aspect of academic or personal life (no matter how small!) you can:
- call or instant message the University’s student-run listening service between 8pm and 7am during term time and via instant message until midnight
- get support and help from student-led networks and services.
Professional support
If you would like further guidance or require professional help, you should contact Student Services.
