Learn more about BL Families, our Welcome Week peer mentoring scheme for students at Barts and The London.
Here is where you can sign-up for BL Families, our Welcome Week peer-mentoring scheme for students at Barts and The London! Current students – 'parents' – are matched with first year students to provide a friendly face and to help new students settle in to university life.
The scheme is a great way to meet new people and get introduced to life at Barts and The London. Even if you won’t be on campus in September, you can still take part in the scheme.
By signing up to the scheme, you'll be invited to our in-person Welcome Week events:
14 September 2024 from 5pm-Late
Join us on Saturday for introductions and matching up and an afterparty in the Griff until 2am - buy tickets here
The Alcoholic event will be held at The Griff Inn, Garrod Building. The Non-Alcoholic event will be held in the Old Library, Garrod Building.
The Non-Alcoholic event will include quizzes, soft drinks, live music (pending approval), and other exciting games!
The final deadline for new students to signup is 6 September 11:59pm.
We hope to see you there!
