Peer mentors

Living and studying at UTS College in Sydney is exciting but it can also be challenging! Fortunately, our peer mentors can help. The peer mentor program is made up of international students already familiar with Sydney and UTS College. We can show you around campus, answer any questions you have and help you meet new people and make new friends.

All new international students in both diploma and UTS Foundation Studies programs can be matched up with a peer mentor. You'll meet regularly with your mentor and get to know other new students in the process.

Benefits of having a Peer Mentor can include:

  • increased academic achievement
  • improved social skills
  • greater feeling of connection to school community
  • increased attendance and motivation to continue study.
 

In addition to providing study advice and assistance, we can also help you settle into life in Sydney, understanding Australian culture and give you tips on how to make new friends.
