About the student mentorship programme
Your course teaches you the theory.
This programme helps you see how it plays out in the real world.
Over eight weeks, you’ll explore criminal exploitation with a specialist who has worked on some of the most complex cases in the UK.
You’ll bring your questions, your reading and your dissertation or thesis ideas and leave with a deeper understanding of the subject and more confidence in applying it.
You’ll also hear from leading academics, experts and professionals with lived experience, so you learn from the people who study exploitation, confront it and have lived it.
