Alumni-Student Mentoring Scheme
The Alumni Mentoring Programme connects selected students with alumni mentors who have experience in their areas of interest. Through practical guidance, career advice and professional insight, mentors help students build confidence, explore career pathways and develop their networks.
The programme is made possible by the generosity of our alumni volunteers and offers a rewarding opportunity for alumni to share their experience and support the next generation of Courtauld graduates.
The 2026–27 programme will run from January to July 2027, with a minimum of three one-to-one meetings, held virtually or in person. Mentors will also be invited to attend a short online introductory session ahead of the programme to help them get the most from the mentoring relationship.
Each year, our Alumni-Student Mentoring scheme supports around 20-30 students from disadvantaged or underrepresented backgrounds.
