Workshops and mentoring
We run online workshops and mentoring sessions to support you in your journey towards the Award. We highly recommend attending these sessions as this will increase your understanding of what is required, and thus contribute to optimising your use of time and resources.
Imperial Award: Getting started (45 min)
This introductory workshop is open to all students who want to understand in detail what is needed to gain the Award and how to make an efficient use of the available resources.
By the end of the workshop you will be better able to:
- Understand what is required to complete the Imperial Award
- Know how to use the online portfolio and the overview matrix
- Understand the process and your journey through the programme
Imperial Award - Your reflective submission (60 min)
This is a session for students registered to the Imperial Award and focused on exploring the process of self-reflection and understanding how to produce a reflective submission that meets the assessment criteria.
By the end of the workshop you will be better able to:
- Consider what ‘self-reflection’ and ‘transformative impact’ are, in the context of the Imperial Award
- Identify what’s required to write a reflective submission for this programme
- Appropriately use the Imperial Award self-reflection tool and the SCART model
In preparation for this workshop it is highly recommended that you either attend our ‘Imperial Award - Getting started’ workshop or read the Student Guidance document. Failing to do so may impact your understanding of the workshop.

Mentoring Sessions (45 min)
These online sessions are offered before each submission deadline. They are delivered by Imperial Award Student Consultants, who successfully completed the Imperial Award programme.
