Will I be able to get a Signpost Mentor from my Department?

This largely depends on what Signpost Mentors we have available.

We certainly try to match students according to any preferences that are expressed, for example; male/female, undergraduate/postgraduate, same department/different department but unfortunately we do not always have Signpost Mentors from each department.

Also, some Departments have their own mentoring schemes and new students should check with their Departments to find out if this is the case or not.
