Connecting students to our university community
Hear from some of our Academic Advisors and Peer Mentors who are supporting our undergrads to build meaningful social and academic connections.
We want to enrich the experience of our students - and set you up for success.
Our Academic Advising and Peer Mentoring programs aim to enhance your student experience at the University of Melbourne. Meet some of our advisors and mentors below, like second year BBMED student and Peer Mentor, Lamisha, who says, "Ask for help when you need it...there are people available and wanting to help you so don't be afraid to ask."
Academic Advising
Academic Advisers can help you adjust to study and life at the University of Melbourne.
From helping you connect with your School and the broader University community, to sharing ideas, your successes and talking about your goals and challenges - your academic adviser will take an active interest in your progress.
We have almost 50 Academic Advisors in the School of Biomedical Sciences and the first 'virtual' group advising sessions were held earlier in September.
Here are just a couple of our talented academics:
A/Professor Odilia Wijburg Academic Teaching Specialist, Department of Microbiology and Immunology

Dr Graham Mackay Senior Lecturer & Researcher, Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics

Peer Mentoring
Melbourne's Peer Mentoring Program will give you the opportunity to connect with other students in the Bachelor of Biomedicine - and to get involved in campus life.
There are currently 70 Peer Mentors in the School of Biomedical Sciences who each support 10 undergraduate students.
