Through workshops and interactive activities, the program provides practical guidance, helps close information gaps and offers opportunities to engage with local organisations and industry. The aim is to help students feel more confident, connected and prepared for life and study at UNSW.

Why join peer mentoring?
Joining a peer mentoring program offers a unique opportunity to expand your network and develop key skills that foster both personal and professional growth. As a mentee, you'll receive guidance from a senior student (mentor) to help you navigate university life with confidence. As a mentor, your support will empower new students to thrive academically and socially, while you build valuable skills. These include leadership, communication, and problem-solving that will enhance your employability and set you apart in the future.
