First Year Mentoring

There is a great difference between life at high school and university life. To help combat high dropout rates, mentoring is available to new students enrolled in BSc(Computer Science), BSc(Information Technology) or BSc(Software Engineering). Our student mentors are successful current undergraduates. This makes them the best advisers because they have recent experience.

The goal of the mentoring scheme is to make sure that students are keeping their study on track and getting the assistance they need, when they need it, in order to do well at university. Every new student will be assigned a mentor. Every student will meet with their mentor for 20 minutes each week to discuss their progress and any problems they are having. The attendance records for all new students will be kept and students with poor attendance records may not be considered for supplementary exams.
