Mentoring at Ulster University
What is Mentoring?
You have probably been mentored at some point in your life. Think back to a time when someone took an interest in your welfare, shared their own experience and knowledge with you and enabled you to develop.
In essence this is what mentoring is all about – an enabling relationship based on an exchange of knowledge, experience and goodwill.
In line with Ulster University ‘People, Place and Partnership’ strategy to ensure that every member of the community is enabled to achieve their full potential, 'Mentoring at Ulster University provides opportunities for personal and professional growth. This aligns with our reputation as an institution that places a high value on support and developing its people.
At Ulster University we are promoting a developmental approach to mentoring, this is based on a high level of two-way learning and on helping the mentee with the quality of their thinking around issues that are important to them. It is about supporting the mentees' learning and development, particularly as they experiences some sort of change.
