“…A well-co-ordinated buddy/mentor scheme can be vital for international students, especially those who want longer-term support during their transition (Partridge, 2008). Such a scheme can supplement short-term induction programmes and address initial difficulties that can be a predictor of later adjustment to University life (Martin & Kee, 2008). Supporting international students through an extended period of transition is important to avoid increased drop-out rates due to poor adjustment (Peat et al, 2000).…”

“…As a result of my discussions with the PM team, a new event to bring pre-arrival mentors into contact with new students is being organised for Freshers" Week this year. This is only a first step, but addressing this gap will contribute to ongoing orientation and high completion rates, by supporting students through the initial adjustment processes that form the foundation for successful transition (Martin & Kee, 2008).…”

Buddying and mentoring schemes are playing an increasingly vital role in student support and integration, especially in the context of a global shift in internationalisation. In this project, one cycle of improvements to a buddy scheme for exchange students was completed in accordance with three principles: ongoing orientation, the internationalisation of "home" students and staff/student liaison. Theory and student feedback were applied to professional practice, with a focus on student participation. Suggested future evaluation includes quantitative measures such as levels of participation, as well as qualitative data from surveys and focus groups. Work to date has resulted in an initial hypothesis of the relationships between peer support, student participation and mobility. Reflective practice and the practical implementation of the three principles have contributed to the process of personal and university internationalisation, and have led to a set of general guidelines for those considering peer-support initiatives at other institutions.
