Mentoring opportunities with established alumni
Later this year, we’ll be launching the 2026–27 Global Mentoring Programme, designed to support students and recent graduates by pairing them with friendly, experienced Sussex alumni.
Delivered online via Sussex Connect, this popular programme offers guidance, encouragement, and valuable connections as you begin your next chapter.
“Having someone to talk to about new opportunities accelerated my growth and strengthened my confidence when navigating my career.”
