Mentoring programmes

Becoming a mentor is an opportunity to share your experience, inspire and guide a student towards success, while enhancing your own leadership and communication skills.

Being mentored means benefiting from personalised support, gaining valuable advice, and building strong connections to turn your academic and professional ambitions into achievements.

Why Mentoring?

Pursuing a research-focused education is an exciting yet demanding journey. Balancing the development of scientific skills, carrying out research projects, and preparing for the future can sometimes feel overwhelming. This is where mentoring can make a significant difference.

Mentoring connects experienced mentors—researchers, academics, or research professionals—with motivated students. It provides a platform for meaningful exchanges to address questions, share advice, expand networks, and better understand opportunities in the research world.

Within the Graduate+ programme, mentoring is designed to support research students and help them achieve their goals with personalised guidance.
