Student Mentoring Programme

A structured mentoring relationship over a semester or academic year, for students working on media, journalism, or communications projects. Regular sessions, honest feedback, and practical guidance grounded in real industry experience.

The gap between academic study and professional practice in media and communications is significant. This programme bridges it through a sustained mentoring relationship: regular sessions over a semester or year, focused on the student's specific project or trajectory. Whether the student is working on a thesis, launching an independent media project, preparing a portfolio, or figuring out how to enter the industry, the sessions provide direction, accountability, and the kind of honest feedback that academic settings rarely offer.

O fosso entre o estudo académico e a prática profissional em media e comunicação é significativo. Este programa colmata-o através de uma relação de mentoria sustentada: sessões regulares ao longo de um semestre ou ano, focadas no projecto ou trajectória específica do estudante. Quer o estudante esteja a trabalhar numa tese, a lançar um projecto de media independente, a preparar um portfólio, ou a perceber como entrar na indústria, as sessões fornecem direcção, responsabilização e o tipo de feedback honesto que os contextos académicos raramente oferecem.

Who it's for

University students in journalism, communications, sports management, or media studies who want sustained, practical guidance beyond what their programme provides.
