Starting university can be exciting, but it can also come with questions about studying, meeting people and finding your feet. The Peer Assisted Study Support (PASS) programme is here to guide and support first year students, connecting you with students who have been where you are and can share their academic experience to help you navigate your course with greater confidence.
PASS is a student-led programme offering subject-based peer support alongside your usual lectures, seminars, labs and tutorials. PASS Mentors can help you make sense of your course, discuss approaches to studying and assessments, share effective study strategies, and signpost you to other sources of academic support when you need them. It’s a great opportunity to ask questions in an informal, safe and welcoming environment, learning from students who understand your subject.
PASS is optional and designed to complement your learning, not replace it. At Queen Mary, students who participate in PASS have tended to achieve stronger academic outcomes, including graduating with higher honours, than students who do not participate.
