Who is the alumni mentoring scheme for?

The alumni mentoring scheme provides a forum in which current undergraduate and doctoral research students at Saarland University can talk to experienced graduates about transitioning from university to the world of work. The scheme is open to students and alumni in all subject areas.
We're always looking for new students and mentors who would like to join the scheme and become part of this growing international network.

How time-consuming is the alumni mentoring scheme for students?

There is no specific time frame for the mentoring process. How often and for how long mentees are in contact with their mentors is something they decide together based on individual needs and interests. Mentors and mentees are free to choose whether they meet up in person or connect online. We recommend that mentors support students for one to two semesters.
