Calling all new Law Students!
We want to make your first experiences here at Staffordshire University a great one and that’s why we have created the E-Mentoring scheme to help you settle in to your studies as smoothly as possible. We appreciate that starting a new course of study at a new institution with lots of new information to take on board can be a little nerve-wracking so to help you to sail though your first year more smoothly, we have a team of dedicated E-Mentors that we can assign to you from as early as the first week of teaching. And who better to guide you through the highs and lows of student life but our very own current students who have been there themselves! Our E-Mentors know exactly what it is like to be a new student and can support and offer that essential student perspective right from your first few days of study.
You will be given more information about the E-Mentoring Scheme when you arrive for Welcome Week and you can find an E-Mentor agreement form on the website for further information about the scheme.
See you in September!
