About The Program

The School of Science is dedicated to enriching students' learning experiences by nurturing their development in various ways and fostering connections within the HKUST School of Science community through two mentorship programs, namely Alumni Mentoring Program and Peer Mentoring Program (MAGNET).

The Alumni Mentoring Program provides students with a platform to gain valuable insights and guidance from alumni mentors as they navigate their career paths. The MAGNET Program offers opportunities for new students to learn from senior peers. It provides a supportive and welcoming environment for new students as they transition to university life.

Roles of Mentor & Mentee

An alumni mentor will serve as an invaluable resource for the mentee, providing guidance, coaching, and support in their personal growth and development, through experience sharing. A mentee is encouraged to take the initiative and explore innovative ways to connect and arrange meetings, while also demonstrating consideration for the mentor's time and commitments. Each mentor will be assigned one to three mentees, and they will be paired in a way that aligns with the needs and preferences of both mentors and mentees.

Application will be open in early September. Information Session will be held in mid-September. Please stay tuned for our invitation email!
