Alumni-Student Mentoring Scheme
The scheme connects selected students with alumni mentors who have experience in their areas of interest. Through practical guidance, career advice and networking support, mentors help boost student’s confidence and professional development. This scheme has proven immensely rewarding to all those involved, owing much to the goodwill of alumni volunteers.
A minimum of three one-to-one meetings (virtual or in person) are required in Spring Term, usually between March and end of July. If you would like to register your interest, please fill in the form below. Please see the Mentor Document of Expectations for further information.
The forthcoming scheme will run from the end of February 2026 to end of July 2026.
Each year, our Alumni-Student Mentoring scheme supports around 20-30 students from disadvantaged or underrepresented backgrounds.
"I received a lot of guidance which helped me get an internship... where I was later offered a full-time position after graduation. I don’t think I would have the same confidence entering this part of the art world without the guidance I got during this mentorship programme.”- BA3 student
