Student transition and success

University life can take some getting used to, so it’s always great to have some support when adjusting to this change.

On Track

On Track is Birkbeck's free summer programme for all new undergraduate students. The programme is designed to help prepare students for life as an undergraduate student at Birkbeck and will include social activities, workshops, advice sessions and academic experiences.

Visit our On Track page for more information and registration details.

BBK Peer Mentoring

BBK Peer Mentoring is a peer mentoring scheme that offers first-year students an opportunity to meet with an existing Birkbeck student. These informal, regular chats provide a way to ask questions and speak with someone from a similar background who can provide support and guidance from a student's perspective.

Meetings take place in and around Birkbeck's campuses with vouchers provided for tea or coffee.

If you are a foundation or first year undergraduate you can register for the programme as a mentee using this online form for mentees.

If you are a returning student (undergraduate or postgraduate who has previously studied at Birkbeck) you can register for the programme as a mentor using this online form for mentors.
