What better way to learn about university life than to ask a peer mentor, a current student who can give you the benefit of their first-hand experience and welcome you into our CCCU community.
You can request a pre-arrival peer mentor as soon as you have accepted an offer to study with CCCU.
How can student peer mentors support you?
Starting university is an exciting journey, and our friendly student peer mentors are here to support you every step of the way!
Whether you're a first-year, second-year, third-year, or postgraduate, our trained mentors provide a safe and confidential space to chat, ask questions, and gain valuable insights. They're here to offer reassurance, share advice on settling in, and connect you with support services and vibrant student networks across the University.
Before you arrive they will connect with you via email and, once you start, they will be happy to meet up, show you around campus, and have a chat to see how you are getting on.
Finding the right peer mentor for you
We try to match you with a mentor who is doing the same or similar course to you to provide targeted support.
At CCCU, our diverse peer mentors come from a range of backgrounds and experiences. Whether you're from a Black, Asian, or Minoritised Ethnic or LGBTQ+ community, have mental health experiences, learning differences, or disabilities, or are a commuter, mature student, international student, parent, or carer—our mentors offer unique insights and support to help you feel connected and empowered.
The mentoring relationship is flexible and will work around what works for both you and your mentor.
When I started at CCCU, I got a great mentor who gave me lots of support - introducing me to the University, the Library and all the resources. In fact, she inspired me so much I became a peer mentor myself!Adewumi,Mental Health Nursing Student
