Take advantage of a mentorship scheme led by our alumni and experienced students.
What is the Peer Support Scheme?
This is a mentoring scheme designed to support new students through their academic journeys in university and to settle in the IOE community.
By joining this scheme, you will receive 1-1 support on the different challenges you may face being a new student at UCL. You will be paired with a peer supporter who will meet with you to discuss any academic, career, or personal concerns.
Your supporter will be an IOE alumnus or senior student who have walked the walk themselves, and can give you the best insight on how to approach these difficulties. We provided them with training and resources, so that you receive the support you deserve.
We understand you may feel uncomfortable going to programme staff for help. Connected with the Peer Support Team, you can always turn to a friendly face as your first point of contact.
Why should I join?
- Receive 1-1 support throughout the academic year
- Gain tips and advice from IOE alumni or senior students
- Connect with other students during group sessions
- Develop skills through a series of academic, career and personal development workshops
How to join
The Peer Support Scheme is open to new students studying at the IOE, including postgraduate, ITE and research students. You will have the option of meeting your peer supporter face-to-face or online.
