Student Leaders Programme

Some of you have expressed interest or have already registered to take part in the Student Leaders Programme offered by the Student Association. This is a message from the Student Association:

"As a volunteer for International Student Support Service, you are one of the lucky people that are eligible to apply for the Student Leaders Programme.  This Programme will teach and develop your leadership and communication skills so that when you leave University, you will be an attractive candidate to many employers!

The Programme is simple to complete.  All you need to do is attend a Leadership seminar and a Personal Development seminar and fill in a workbook along the way.  Once this has been done, that’s you completed the Level!  Then you will be invited to the Awards Ball where you will be presented with your certificate by the Principal.

So, come and apply today here.

The Student Leaders Programme is the path to a bright career!"


GCU Student Mentor Scheme

The university has a mentoring scheme available to all GCU registered students. Mentors aim to help new students to adapt to the university in offering advice, reassurance and support.
