The main Queen Mary Buddy Scheme cycle runs from September through to March. In many Schools new students will be allocated a mentor automatically in other School’s new incoming students will need to submit an application form. However the deadline to apply for a mentor within this cycle is Friday 15th September.
If you are starting in January and would like a mentor, please email the Buddy Scheme team directly and we will do our very best to match you up with a mentor from the same academic School, as you as soon as we can. If interested in being allocated a mentor in January email us at: buddyscheme@qmul.ac.uk. Please include your full name, student ID number and academic School.
