Mentoring at the University of Brighton

Mentoring is a catalyst for personal and professional growth and it’s for everyone. Mentoring is all about facilitating your own development and working together with your mentor to achieve your goals. Our mentoring programmes provide support to all current University of Brighton students, whether you are an undergraduate, postgraduate, part-time or full-time student.

Our mentors come from all over the UK and some are in different parts of the world, so sessions usually take place online, but there may be the possibility of meeting in person in a public place if your mentor lives locally.

There are a range of programmes for you to choose from:

Momentum

An inclusive programme open to any current University of Brighton student. Students are matched with a volunteer professional who is trained to support you in working towards your goals and building confidence.

Graduate Mentoring

For recent graduates, this programme aims to support you with your career goals or to help you build confidence. You can apply within three months of finishing your course.

Students from the African, Arab, Asian, or the Latin American diaspora, born in the UK or abroad, will be matched with a professional who is trained to support you in working towards your goals and building confidence.

LGBTQ+ Uni-Amex Mentoring
