Mentoring at the University of Cambridge

Welcome to the University mentoring website which aims to inform you about mentoring processes and resources. The University facilitates personal and professional development enabling individuals and groups to achieve their full potential. Mentoring is a dynamic way of facilitating such development.

Since 1996, the University has formally required all its institutions to make arrangements for the mentoring of its newly appointed staff. However, developmental mentoring is equally important in the current ever-changing work environment, with its increasing pressures and challenges.

This website contains useful information and guidelines both for individual members of staff, and for departmental administrators and others seeking mentors for their staff members.
