Essentials Careers Advice and development Mentoring Thrive mentoring

Thrive Mentoring

Connect with a professional mentor and talk through your career plans and aspirations.

If you are an undergraduate or taught postgraduate, looking to speak to someone in an industry you’re interested in, Thrive can support you with this. The Thrive team recruit mentors from various industries, that you can choose from, who support our students with advice and guidance in an area of your choice.

Visit About Thrive for more information. Thrive sign ups for 2025-26 will open in September. Updates about the next intake of mentees will be available on this webpage in the Summer.

We are introducing a new Priority Access scheme where undergraduate students from specific Widening Participation backgrounds moving into 2nd and final years will be emailed privately from the 13th May onwards to sign up early, with extra support in matching with a mentor. If you do not receive an email about this by end of May and believe you are eligible, please email the team.

Please email the team if you have any questions.
