Buddy Scheme Sign Up

Interested in joining the WBS buddy scheme?

The WBS buddy scheme is a great opportunity for second year students to be matched with a first or third year student and benefit from peer to peer support and learn from fellow students experiences and insights. As a second year student you have the option to either mentor a first year student or be a mentee to a third year student.

The scheme will run for the whole academic year (and hopefully the rest of the time you and your buddy are WBS students). It’s suggested that buddies meet 2-3 times per term, to network, discuss your academic studies should you want insights from another peer – and in term 1 particularly ease the transition into university life. The scheme, though started by WBS is designed to be flexible and informal between buddies.

You can sign up to the scheme using the below form. This form asks a number of questions to ascertain your preferences, as this scheme is new to this academic year, how many of your preferences we can match will be dependent on the number of sign-ups we receive.

Deadline for sign up is midnight on Wednesday 13th October.

Would you like to be a mentee or a mentor (required)
Would you ideally like to be matched by nationality and domicile (required)
Would you like to be matched by people of the same gender (required)
Would you like to be matched to a student studying in the same mode as you if yes please select an option
What do you hope to get out of the buddy scheme (required)
