What is Academic Mentoring?

Academic mentoring is an int­­egral part of education at LSE and critical to building an inclusive scholarly community at the School for everyone. It is also part of the LSE 2030 Strategy, the Inclusive Education Action Plan, and the Student Mental Health and Wellbeing Framework.

Academic mentors are students’ first point of contact with the academic community and it is a positive worthwhile relationship for both academics and students.

The portal is the outcome of a multi-year research project into academic support at LSE involving staff and students.
