Mentoring


The Mentoring Programme aims chiefly to establish connections between FCH finalists and alumni, in order to encourage the exchange of academic and professional experiences between them.

This is an informal programme, in which the role of the Careers Office is to define the profiles of finalist students and alumni, putting them in touch and supporting their relationship.

This programme aims to allow finalists to benefit from the experience of alumni, in their different academic and professional paths, so they may validate choices already made, but essentially, so they may reflect on future decisions.
