Get Involved
We host a range of project and programs where you can make friends, learn skills and make a lasting impact on the community.
What is Great Mates?
Great Mates is a peer mentoring program where senior UNSW students take a group of 10 first year students through 5 introductory sessions. Sessions will be on campus or online, plus your Great Mate buddy will be available for questions along the way. Great Mates is free and designed for all first years. The first session takes place 2-weeks before O-Week (the week starting Monday 20th January).
How does it work?
Once you register, we will match you with a group of 9 other students. Each group will have a Peer Mentor who will host a weekly 1-hour information session to guide you through settling in at uni. You'll be in a group chat and you can sent your mentor questions any time.
What if I'm an international student and don't arrive until February?
That's fine! You can join online group sessions until you arrive and then attend in person once you get here.
