University Mentoring Service

We offer a mentoring model focused on helping the student to stop and think, and to build up the habit of setting out plans of action to develop their personal and professional skills with the help of a mentor, whose objectives are:

1. Establish a supportive connection to the student through individual and group meetings. 
2. Educate students as they enhance their personal and social skills, abilities and attitudes.
3. Recommend activities, study materials or other aspects related to university life to the student.
4. Guide the student throughout their time at UIC Barcelona by offering their own advice or directing them to our specialised internal services.

Mentor Profile

Mentors are normally lecturers from the student's bachelor degree. UIC Barcelona also works with external professionals who are not necessarily teachers, but who have the specific training and knowledge to be able to support and counsel each university student.

The mentoring process is an academic, professional and personal encounter for university students. It is different from academic tutorials in that it helps them to discover new possibilities for their future and take full advantage of their university experience.

Every student enrolled at UIC Barcelona is assigned a mentor (mentors are assigned a maximum of 10 students), with whom they will meet around three times a year to build up a confidential dialogue. In these meetings students will have the chance to express their concerns and ask their mentor questions.

In return, the professionals will guide students to the best of their abilities and help them overcome any academic, professional and personal challenges that may arise during their time at the university.

Self-knowledge and personal development tools will be available to students that they can use with their mentor.
