The Faculty of Economics, Business and Tourism (FEET) has extended the registration deadline for its Mentorship Programme until 8th July.

This voluntary programme is designed to provide peer support among university students. During the first semester, senior students (mentors), guided by faculty tutors, support first-year students (mentees) in their transition to university life.
The programme helps new students adapt more easily, offering guidance on academic, administrative and social aspects of university life. At the same time, mentors develop key skills such as leadership, teamwork and communication, and receive official recognition of 2 ECTS credits for their participation.

Registration can be completed through the ULPGC online administrative platform by searching for the “mentorship” procedure.
