This program is overseen by the academic staff, alumni, and postgraduates, and is available to students from Year 3 through to the Foundation degree.<\/p><p>The academic staff provide individualised support for students with specific needs. They match experienced mentors with students who require help reaching their academic goals. For instance, first-year and foundation students often experience high levels of anxiety as they start their academic journey. Second- and third-year students serve as mentors to guide and support these newer students during this critical transition period. Their role includes helping these students adapt to their new academic environment, especially during the first 3 months of their program.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e1280ac e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"e1280ac\"
