Unique Mentorship Programme

Each new student will be assigned to and mentored by a senior faculty member (mentor), from whom the student can seek advice and guidance throughout his or her university life. The mentor will lead the mentees in an introductory course designed to enhance students' understanding of the sociological approach to studying society.
