Transition support for new students

Our university-wide mentoring scheme will be launching again in the new academic year. Having a peer mentor can provide huge benefits to new students including providing timely and personal support to help them:

  • to settle into university life and Sheffield
  • make friends and learn about other cultures
  • become confident communicators

The scheme runs from October to April each year. All students can join including any nationality, course, level of study and faculty! New students will be matched with a returning student. Watch a short video created by students about the scheme.

The deadline to apply for Culture Connect is 9 October.  Students can apply at http://go.shu.ac.uk/applycc
