Business and Law Peer Mentoring
About our program
Our 5-week peer mentoring program runs every trimester in Weeks 1–5 and is open to all Business and Law students.
We offer a blend of campus and online mentoring so that you can take part no matter where you are located. Joining the program is an excellent way to get started.
All Business and Law students are welcome to visit our MS Teams Business and Law Mentor Community, so you don’t miss the latest updates on student events, competitions, conference, opportunities, and photo galleries of past events!

Drop-in spaces
Our drop-in spaces are open to all Business and Law students at any stage of your university journey – have a break on us with chats, snacks and coffee vouchers, as well as merchandise to be won!
It's an opportunity to connect with other students (and our academics who may join us), have your questions answered or simply have a chat. Feel free to attend even if you haven’t joined our 5-week program.
