Studying at FLUP - Mentorship InFLUP

FLUP’s mentoring programme is part of the University of Porto’s Transversal Peer Mentoring Programme.

Mentoring U.Porto is an institutional programme at the University of Porto for welcoming and integrating new students, present in 13 organic units and in the University Housing Complex (in conjunction with SASUP). It is coordinated and promoted by more than 100 teachers and currently involves more than 5,200 students (mentors and mentorees), fostering democratic and supportive experiences at U.Porto.

The InFLUP Mentoring Programme aims to offer students the chance to count on the voluntary availability of Faculty colleagues who have been attending FLUP for longer to accompany their process of integration and welcoming into the faculty, the university and the city.
