The Life Science Undergraduate Advising Team (LIFS UG Advising Team) aims to provide you with additional support that is complementary to the existing UG Faculty Mentorship Scheme. From the moment you set foot on your studies with LIFS, the Advisors are ready to empower you to explore and develop yourself as well as to understand more clearly the issues of which you may be concerned with – for example, academic planning, career preparation, and personal issues. The Team can also help you with making more informed decisions, choices, or changes that are right for you.
The relationships you form with the Faculty Mentors and Advisors will shape your undergraduate experience and strengthen your sense of belonging to the Division and the University, which may have a life-long influence on you.
