What is a Peer Guide?

A few days before you arrive, we will automatically add you to your departmental Peer Guide chat in Microsoft Teams, where you can chat to other students studying in the same Department.

You will be alloacted a Peer Guide from your School or Department who will offer you peer to peer support and guidance as you transition into university life. Your Peer Guide is a current student who is there to answer any questions you might have and to direct you to different services that the university offers. 

Meeting with a Peer Guide

Your Peer Guide will be in contact with you via your student email address (the one that looks like abc123@live.rhul.ac.uk). Your Peer Guide may set a certain time during the week for optional virtual or in-person meetings, in small groups or 1:1. If your Peer Guide knows of another team in the university who is better suited to helping you, they will be able to provide you with their contact details.

Please note that you are free to leave the team at any time.
