Students in a group

Here at Newcastle University Business School, we believe your time at university should be enjoyable and that you should make use of every opportunity that comes your way. Moving away from home to a new environment can seem quite a scary prospect so we offer help and support to all our students throughout their time here to ensure they get the best out of their studies and make the most of their university experience.

Peer Mentoring Scheme

The Peer Mentoring Scheme aims to help new International students adapt to life within the UK and get the most out of their time at university by teaming up new students with current undergraduate students who are able to share their knowledge and experiences.  It is a great opportunity, not only to make friends from around the world but to help strengthen your skills and develop yourself as an individual.

More information about how to become involved or contact James Wade at james.wade@ncl.ac.uk
