Seren Academy
Seren supports the brightest state educated learners to achieve their full academic potential.
7. Mentoring support
Open to learners in years 12 and 13, the Seren Academy recruits students, academics and professionals from leading universities and organisations across the UK to offer mentoring support to Seren learners hoping to follow the same academic path as them.
Learners are assigned a mentor who will guide them through university application process, offering advice and support either through video calls in a group setting or via email.
Depending on the support chosen, it may include:
- tailored support for specific course and/or university from someone who has successfully gone through the application process
- an insight into a learner’s target course and/or university
- personal statement support
- personalised admissions test preparation
- interview preparation and mock interviews
- useful tips, advice and resources for applying to university
This is the most tailored type of application support available, and as the mentors are either recent graduates, current students who have just come out the other side of the application process, or even university academics, they really know what it will take to get applications over the finish line.
