Peer Mentoring

Aston University's Peer Mentoring scheme brings together students from different year groups to form one-to-one mentoring relationships. By committing a small amount of time to mentoring every week, you can really get ahead and make the most of your time at Aston.

Peer Mentoring is a voluntary scheme which is flexible, confidential, and fits around your availability and preferences. Training, resources and ongoing support are provided by our dedicated team. Your participation will be reflected on your HEAR, your Aston student record and will be valuable for any future placement or job applications. You'll also receive a certificate and be invited to our Awards Evening at which we present awards for Mentor and Mentee of the Year. Peer mentoring is an opportunity to meet new people, share experiences and knowledge, and develop transferable skills that will increase your employability.
