E-mentoring

E-mentoring is the term we use to describe the role of current students who volunteer to provide information and advice to new and increasingly, prospective students. We normally take on students at the end of each academic year though we do recruit a small number of students throughout the year.

The role won't take up a lot of your time, as everything is done using e-mail and other forms of online communication (such as Moodle), but it will provide you with a great addition to your C.V.

Student on campus We look to take on students with the following: -

To have successfully completed your first year of study at the University of Glasgow (though students nearing the end of their first year of study are also eligible to apply)
Competence in using e-mail and internet technology
Good communication skills (especially written)
General enthusiasm for Higher Education

Training and ongoing support is provided for all students.
