Peer mentoring for students and alumni from the BA (Hons) Accounting suite of programmes

Borthwick, Sarah

Abstract

This submission recounts the implementation, successes and challenges of a peer mentoring scheme for students and alumni on the undergraduate suite of programmes. The scheme offered a further support network for students through working with their peers at a later stage of the programme. The mentors provided advice many aspects including finding information, expectations of different stages of the programme, modules / dissertation, assignments, referencing, managing the workload and career options. Many of these aspects support the student experience and are clearly linked to learning and teaching.
