Peer mentoring
Support for new students
As an undergraduate student, you'll be given the opportunity to meet with our peer mentors
Peer mentoring and support
Throughout your time with us, you and your classmates will be able to consult with peer mentors, who will offer helpful guidance and advice. Peer mentors are students from year two or three of your course, or students that have completed our Foundation year, who can support you in exploring topics that are covered during your degree. It is a great way to meet other students and develop a wider support network.
Becoming a peer mentor
As you progress through your time with us, you will have many opportunities to become involved in wider roles for your course, school, faculty, and the university. Depending on your course, there are also opportunities with professional bodies, such the British Association of Sports Rehabilitators (BASRaT) for sport rehabilitation and the Chartered Society (CSP) for physiotherapy. You could also become a peer mentor yourself.
These opportunities will give you the chance to support others, share your experiences and knowledge, provide feedback to help enable future development and add invaluable experiences. The skills you learn from this type of role are also desirable when seeking future employment.
