The Peer Mentoring programme at Aston University matches students
from different year groups together in one-to-one mentoring relationships.
Your mentor will be someone who has just been through the same stage
as you, who can share their knowledge and experiences and give you
handy tips at every step of your time at Aston University.
Peer Mentoring is for everyone, with many benefits for both mentor and
mentee. By spending just a small amount of time every week on mentoring
you can really get ahead and make the most of your time at Aston as well
as greatly enhancing your skills, CV and employability. Peer Mentoring is a
voluntary scheme which is flexible, confidential, and fits around your availability
and preferences.
You can be involved in mentoring throughout your time at Aston...
