First Year Resources
The peer mentoring program aims to help first years lead a successful transition to university life by connecting small groups of first years with two third year mentors majoring in Psychology. During the term, mentors will organise a weekly meetup where they may discuss university life, social opportunities, psychology courses, exam preparation and more.

“The insights from Jenny and Emily on how to nail integral psychology assessments and organise notes for exams were super helpful in making me feel confident in my uni work and reducing stress.”
“My peer mentors Jacqui and I-Hsuan told me about many uni opportunities that I might not have known about otherwise, and really encouraged me to make the most out of them - this definitely led me to meet a lot of new people and have a great year overall!” “It was super helpful being guided through Term 1 by students who currently study psych themselves. Peer mentoring was also a great way to meet other first years, especially as I continued to see them in lectures/tutorials throughout the year and would have someone to talk to.”
