How does it work?

You'll be matched up with a more experienced student in your School, who can offer help and support as you adjust to student life. You will be grouped with other students in your cohort and be supported by a trained Queen Mary Buddy mentor.

What are the benefits?

Being part of the Buddy Scheme will allow you to:

• meet other students from your School in your year and beyond
• learn about all that is on offer to Queen Mary students
• gain practical advice and support for any issues or concerns.

How do I sign up?

In many Schools this will happen automatically. Where this is the case, during Welcome Week, your buddy will send you a welcome email to your Queen Mary email address and invite you to meet either face-to-face or virtually.

If you have not been contacted by a mentor by 21^st September and would like to be put in touch with someone in your School, please complete the I want a mentor form.

I missed the email but would still like a mentor.

Don’t worry if you miss the initial contact from your mentor, all our mentors know how busy Welcome Week can be! Just respond to your mentor’s email and let them know you would like to be part of the scheme.

Any other questions?
