Finding Your Mentor
Choosing to go to university is a big decision to make, it will be the start of a very special journey. To prepare you, what could be better than having access to the knowledge and experience of one of our current students.
Our student mentors are a little bit further on in their own journey, enabling them to share useful tips and hints to help you succeed and give you the best university experience possible. They are trained to provide a safe and confidential space for you to talk freely, where you can ask any question. Some of the benefits of having a peer mentor include:
- Feeling supported while gaining practical advice from one of your peers
- Benefiting from the knowledge and experience of a fellow student
- Widen your network of friends across the University
- Increase your confidence in both social and academic situations
Christ Church is proud to be an inclusive university and our peer mentors represent the diversity of our community. Whether you are a BAME, international, disabled, mature or commuting student there will be a peer mentor who has a similar background to you and who would be happy to answer your questions and share their experiences.
