Sessions are conversational, supportive, and focused on helping students develop clarity, judgement, and direction.

Applicants should have either: a Master’s degree, or a Bachelor’s degree with at least 5 years of professional experience Each mentor is typically paired with 5 students aged 18 to 26, all fluent in English.

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

The mentorship programme is organised around three pathways:

1. Online Higher Education – preparation for online bachelor’s and master’s degrees
