Are you interested in mentoring as part of a cross-institutional mentoring programme seeking to enhance the on-course experience for black, Asian and minority ethnic postgraduate research students across Yorkshire?

The Yorkshire Consortium of Equity in Doctoral Education (YCEDE) is formed of five Yorkshire Universities (York, Leeds, Sheffield, Sheffield Hallam and Bradford) who are committed to improving postgraduate research access and providing an equitable PhD experience for black, Asian and minority ethnic postgraduate researchers*.

The YCEDE PGR Mentoring programme has been created in consultation and collaboration with staff and PGRs from across the consortium to provide a bespoke mentoring programme for black, Asian and minority ethnic PGRs. The YCEDE PGR mentoring programme forms part of our commitment to ensuring we deliver an equitable PhD experience for black, Asian and minority ethnic PGRs across the consortium. This mentoring programme will provide PGRs the opportunity to discuss their experiences of postgraduate research and professional and career development with a trained mentor.

Registration is now open for interested academic, research and professional services staff to become a YCEDE mentor.

We ask that mentors are able to commit to the following;

- Be able to meet with a mentee a minimum of 6 sessions between July 2023 and January 2024. Meetings can be held online or in person and we would suggest having an expectation of each meeting being approximately an hour in duration.

- Be able to attend training which forms part of our support to both mentors and mentees. This includes an induction to the programme and mentoring practices and a bespoke session delivered by University of Bradford Centre for Inclusion and Diversity. These are two separate sessions (totalling 3.5 hours).

- Are committed to providing feedback to the programme.

We look forward to hearing from you soon. If you have any questions, please email info@ycede.ac.uk.

*We use the term black, Asian and minority ethnic student respectfully, although we know there are issues with this term. We recognise the importance of acknowledging and celebrating the cultural and ethnic identity of people within what is defined as black, Asian and minority ethnic.

Please describe your ethnicity:

Why are we asking?

YCEDE is developing a bespoke mentoring programme for black, Asian and minority ethnic postgraduate researchers. We anticipate that some mentees will have a preference in the ethnicity of their mentor and we will take this into account as part of the matching process. In focus groups, the diversity of our mentor pool was of high importance to PGRs and we are collecting this information as part of this commitment.

If you prefer to self-define your ethnicity please do so here:

Would you be happy to mentor a PGR not based at the same university as yourself?

The YCEDE PGR Mentoring programme is open to PGR mentees from all five consortium institutions. We expect both mentees and mentors may have preference in the location of their partner. In order to ensure we can provide mentees with matches please specify what your preference would be. We encourage mentors to be open to a match outside of their institution and a holistic approach will be taken when matching, based on information provided from both mentees and mentors. Full support is provided to mentors, including a welcome pack with key contacts and information.

Yes, I am happy to be matched with a mentee from any of the YCEDE universities.

No, I would only consider a match from within my own institution
