One of the most challenging aspects of transitioning to university is getting to know individuals when a lecture can have hundreds of people. However, meeting and making friends is a critical part of university life, so students are able to develop a support network that can continue throughout their degree to support their mental and academic well-being.

The Science Undergraduate Peer Mentoring Program is a fantastic opportunity for commencing undergraduate students to meet their peers and gain insight into University life with the help and guidance of a senior mentor. Our Mentors are trained to support your transition to University. They can answer any questions you may have, whether you need to know where to get help on a particular issue, tips and tricks on organising the best timetable or even where the best coffee on campus is - they know it all! 

We’ll kick this event with a playful speed networking activity to help you meet other first-year students from across all science majors. It’s the perfect chance to connect with people outside your mentor group and make new friends in a relaxed, welcoming environment. Afterwards, join us for a campus tour to get familiar with your new surroundings, followed by a BBQ where you can unwind, bond, and share some laughs with your new mates.
