Become a mentor

If you're interested in becoming a mentor for Abertay students in the future, we'd love to hear from you! 

The Abertay Career Mentoring Scheme supports and inspires students to develop their work-related skills. We match students with professionals in industry who share their knowledge and experience.

We're always looking for new mentors from all sectors and at any career stage. If you interested in becoming a mentor and supporting our current students, please get in touch

Working with highly motivated, high achieving students drives you to identify ways to support their development... The exchange of perspectives was a huge benefit to (I hope) both of us. Abertay Student Mentor, 2024
