SUMMARY:PGR Peer Mentoring Briefing
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of the PGR Peer Mentoring programme is to provide P
 GRs with a trained mentor with whom they can have supportive\, non-judgeme
 ntal conversations about their experiences of postgraduate research\, as w
 ell as their professional and career development. PGR peer mentors can adv
 ise mentees about community and development within PGR study. Discussions 
 may include: building networks\; personal organisation and workload manage
 ment\; working effectively with supervisors\; balancing work and life comm
 itments and managing the demands of personal and professional responsibili
 ties.\n\nThe scheme is designed to benefit both mentees and mentors. For m
 entees\, it offers valuable support and a sense of connection. For mentors
 \, it provides opportunities for personal and professional growth. More br
 oadly\, the initiative reflects the principle of ‘students as partners
 ’ in higher education\, strengthening collaboration and mutual support w
 ithin the PGR community.\n\nIn previous years the scheme has run once a ye
 ar\, from January to June. In 2025/26 we will be establishing a pool of me
 ntors\, who we will work to match with mentees from November onwards. This
  will ensure that all students can benefit from a mentoring relationship a
 s soon as possible after enrolment. Mentors will be supported by regular w
 ellbeing drop-in sessions and check-ins with the RIDA team.\n\nThis briefi
 ng will explain how the programme works and how you can apply to be a ment
 or/mentee.\n\nBOOK HERE
