Join our Professional Mentoring Programme

18 September 2025

An opportunity for students in their final year of study

** The deadline for applications has been extended until Friday 24 October **

Are you in your final year of study? If so, this is the perfect time to join our Professional Mentoring Programme.

Through the programme, you’ll be paired with an industry mentor who can support you as you prepare to finish your degree and embark on life after university, and guide you to getting into the career you want.

Your mentor can help you to:

  • Develop your career plans.
  • Build confidence and strengthen your skills.
  • Expand your professional network and make valuable connections.
  • Give guidance on starting a business or working as a freelancer.

How do I apply?

Simply fill in the sign-up form and we’ll enrol you on the dedicated SOL page, where you’ll find full details about the programme. Furthermore, the programme is delivered through Vygo, a platform that allows you to connect with your mentor virtually.

The deadline for applications is Friday 17 October.

Support sessions

To help you get the most from the programme, we encourage you to attend one of our upcoming sessions. These will cover the value of mentoring, what to expect, and how to use Vygo:

  • Tuesday 14 October, 2-3pm, TS101
  • Wednesday 15 October, 2-3pm, TS011
  • Wednesday 29 October, 2-3pm, TS011
  • Thursday 30 October, 2-3pm, TS101
