If you are enrolled in a conjoint degree with Law, you are able to apply for both the Business and Law Women's Mentoring Programmes, but you can only be accepted into one of the programmes - this will be based on the best mentor match for you.
We recommend participants meet up with their mentors once a month, outside of the on-campus events, with a minimum of four face-to-face meetings throughout the year. The programme runs during the academic year, from March to October. We provide monthly topics of discussion and resources to help drive discussion.
You must be willing to commit to the programme and be able to attend evening events. There are approximately eight events for mentees throughout the year, including a briefing session, a programme launch event with all participants in March, special guest speaker, panel, and networking events, and a final closing celebration in September. You can read more about the programme here.
