Join the College of Arts & Humanities Visiting Student Mentor Programme
Are you a visiting international student preparing for your study exchange in Scotland? Join the Visiting Student Mentor Programme (VSMP)!
VSMP is a peer support system that connects visiting students with Glasgow students to help you settle into life at the University of Glasgow. Mentors and Mentees are matched by the College of Arts & Humanities (CoAH) International Team based on common interests.
CoAH Visiting Student Mentors are University of Glasgow undergraduate students (years 2–5) who help you to feel at home in Glasgow, for instance by exploring Scotland together, socialising on weekends, and by helping you to meet new friends and settle in.
Throughout the Semester/Year, we organise many fun social events such as day trips, pub quizzes, walking tours, and more!
