Global Majority (Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic) Mentoring Scheme

Goldsmiths' mentoring scheme has been designed to support our undergraduate students from a Black, Asian or other Minority Ethnic background.

  • Following four successful years, we look forward to pairing students and alumni once more to build positive mentoring relationships
  • The main aim of the scheme is to help students become career-ready and better prepared for finding high-quality employment post-graduation
  • Our hope is that with this support, students increase their chances of breaking into their desired careers, resulting in a level and more equal playing field in our labour market

Students interested in being mentored there will have two training and information sessions. You must attend one of these sessions to apply for the mentoring scheme.

Mentoring Scheme for students with disabilities

Following four successful years, we are delighted to announce the fifth year of Goldsmiths Careers’ mentoring scheme specifically for undergraduate students with disabilities.  

  • The objective of the scheme is to assist students in their careers readiness and their transition from higher education to the workplace and other postgraduate experiences
  • Students will have access to the Goldsmiths disabilities team through the scheme. Students are encouraged to contact the disabilities team if they identify any additional support they require that their mentor cannot provide

Students interested in being mentored there will have two training and information sessions. You must attend one of these sessions to apply for the mentoring scheme.

On all schemes, mentors can help mentees by sharing industry knowledge, supporting students with applications or interviews, help students to explore careers, set goals, develop contacts, and identify beneficial resources. As a result, it helps students build their confidence, eradicate myths they may have of their desired industry and gaining a clearer understanding of the next steps in their career. 

  • Throughout the mentoring relationships, support will be available from the Goldsmiths Careers team
