What is a 'Mentor Family'?

A mentor family is a group of up to 10 participants attending the programme in the same college but studying a variety of subjects. They are led by their mentor, a current Oxbridge undergraduate, who is there to answer any questions they may have about the programme, ‘Oxbridge’, or life at university.

Mentors form the core of our pastoral care and are on hand to help participants throughout the programme. Participants will receive an invitation to their mentor family group chat a few days before the programme begins. This will allow them to introduce themselves and become acquainted with one another before the start of the programme.
