Abstract
Background: A mentoring pilot was run during semester one of the MSc Health Psychology 2021/22 timetable at the University of Stirling. The pilot aimed to support the postgraduate study transition and increase student engagement and connection. Five volunteer mentors from the graduating 2020/21 cohort, met monthly with their sub-group of mentees and delivered information sessions based on mentee feedback. This study is an evaluation of the mentoring pilot scheme, drawing on mentee and mentor feedback to evaluate the overall pilot and the delivery methods trialled.
