Support current students

Provide expertise, inspiration and advice to Imperial students and help prepare them for life beyond Imperial. Supporting a student doesn't need to be a big time commitment - from answering a one-off question by email, to becoming a mentor, there are plenty of opportunities to make a difference.

Opportunities

Student at computerThe Alumni Mentoring Scheme pairs you with a current student to help to develop their confidence and insight into job roles and work sectors. The Scheme promotes and supports a structured relationship between alumni and students, whereby alumni can share their professional experiences, personal insights and employability advice with students to increase their understanding of career opportunities and help to develop their confidence when thinking about their career planning.

The programme is aimed at current Imperial students across all degree disciplines and prioritises students who meet the College's widening participation criteria.

As a Mentor you will have an opportunity to develop your mentoring and coaching skills as well as staying connected with student life at Imperial today.

Find out more about the role of a mentor and register your interest for the 2024/25 scheme.

Location: Worldwide – we encourage applications from all alumni as mentoring can be undertaken remotely.
Time commitment: A minimum of five in-person or virtual interactions across seven months.
Deadline: Registration for the 2024/25 scheme will open in September 2024.
