ISAT Oxford Brookes

👥 GLOBAL BUDDIES MENTORS 👥

Are you looking for a way to make friends from all over the world and boost your CV? Become a Global Buddies Mentor!

Mentors are current students (UK or International) who lead and help a group of new international students (Buddies) for a semester, by sharing their experiences and providing tips about how to settle into life at Brookes and Oxford. The programme is organised around social activities - you can join the events we organise, or plan your own!

You will be required to attend our compulsory Mentor training session and welcome event both taking place in September.

If that sounds like something you would like to do, go to our Global Buddies page (link in bio) to find out more and register!

Please note this is not a paid position.

We are really excited to share the details of a special one-off event that has been organised by some of our very own International Postgraduate students in collaboration with Oxford Castle & Prison. Please see the event details below and there are an extremely limited number of tickets available for this event, so book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment!
