Brunel Mentor Buddies

Do you remember your first weeks at Brunel University? The transition to University life definitely has its challenges! The Brunel Mentor Buddy Scheme was established to encourage current students to be the support that they wish they had. 

About Brunel Buddies:

New students are often anxious about university and some struggle to adapt and settle in. Brunel Mentor Buddies is a mentor and support programme that aims to encourage and support new students through their first term at Brunel University. Brunel Buddies are influential students who are passionate and confident in sharing their personal and professional experience of being a new student.  As a Brunel Buddy, you will guide, mentor and encourage new Brunel students to embrace their new journey so that they can achieve their full potential.

As a Brunel Mentor Buddy you will:

• Guide and support with situational queries such as where/how do I submit my assisgnments?
• Navigate and mentor new students through their course and academic life.
• Signpost students to different on-campus provisions such as Counselling, Mental Wellbeing and Careers Advice and Guidance.
• Be a friendly familiar face.
• Be proactive and committed to making a positive difference to a new students’ university experience
