Mentoring and Widening Participation

Mentoring

The university has its own range of mentoring programmes for you to choose from. Mentoring is a catalyst for personal and professional growth and it’s open to everyone - we encourage all of our students to consider taking part in a mentoring programme.

Widening Participation

We recognise that accessing the employment path you want isn’t the same experience for everyone, and sometimes there are groups or individuals who face additional or different barriers. For example:

• People with a disability
• Autistic Spectrum Conditions (ASC)
• Black and Racialised Minorities
• LGBTQ
• Lower Socio-economic background
• Women in STEM

Many organisations are creating internships, mentoring programmes, training opportunities, funded Masters or PhD programmes for identified student groups.  We find and promote as many of these as possible so you have a chance apply for these valuable opportunities to widen participation.
