Mentoring and professional skills development

As a Dalyell Scholar, you have access to mentoring to help you develop your leadership potential. There are three parts to the mentoring.

  • Peer-to-peer mentoring
    To get to know your peers and help you transition successfully to University.
  • Academic mentoring
    To help identify your goals and plan your degree.
  • Professional mentoring
    To help you explore career pathways through mentoring from alumni and academics.

Mentoring is co-curricular, meaning it doesn't contribute to your degree requirements. Your Dalyell coordinator will help you get started.

Mobility opportunities

Dalyell Global Mobility Scholarship

Each Dalyell Scholar is entitled to a Dalyell Global Mobility Scholarship of up to $3000. We encourage you to use this towards either a short-term global experience (winter, summer or internship) or a semester exchange program. See our Study abroad and exchange page for more information on the programs available to you.

Dalyell Scholars may also use the Dalyell Global Mobility Scholarship towards overseas conferences, competitions, internships and research experiences which take place during a University break.

Where a Dalyell Scholar is in the final year of a Bachelor or combined Bachelor degree or in the penultimate year of a Bachelor and Bachelor of Advanced Studies degree, you may use the Scholarship towards domestic and virtual enrichment experiences as long as the program meets the agreed eligibility criteria. 

Eligibility

All overseas, domestic, and virtual enrichment experiences must:

  • meet the intent of the Scholarship
  • be of direct relevance to your course of study
  • be approved by your Dalyell faculty lead.

How to apply

Once you are accepted into a program, or have registered for a course or enrichment experience, you will need to submit a request for the Dalyell Global Mobility Scholarship. To be eligible, you must do this before the program start date.

Credit towards Dalyell requirements while on exchange

You may apply to have units undertaken while on exchange credited as exchange credit towards the 12 credit points of Dalyell units required for the Dalyell Stream.

Students who wish to do this must apply for conditional credit approval as set out in the Student Outbound Mobility Policy. Decisions about exchange credit for Dalyell units will be taken by the relevant Associate Dean, in consultation with Dalyell faculty leads of the faculty administering the degree in which you are enrolled.

Exchange credit may be sought for study in:

  • units within a comparable enrichment program for talented students in a partner institution
  • advanced interdisciplinary units
  • advanced units with comparable learning outcomes to a Dalyell unit at the University of Sydney
  • other units which meet the objectives of the Dalyell Stream as determined by the relevant Dalyell coordinator.

Dalyell student representatives

The University values Dalyell Scholars as future leaders and wants to give you a role in shaping your opportunities within the Dalyell stream. Each year, Dalyell faculty leads will appoint two student representatives from each faculty or school offering the Dalyell stream.

Student representatives are chosen through an expression of interest (EOI) process at the beginning of each new academic year. If you are interested in becoming a Dalyell student representative, contact your Dalyell faculty lead.

Dalyell Scholars e-community and events

When you join the Dalyell stream, you will have access to the Dalyell Scholars e-community in Canvas. This e-community lets you interact with peers enrolled in the stream from a wide range of courses across the University. Announcements are regularly posted by Dalyell faculty leads, so you can find out about co-curricular aspects of the stream and receive important messages from your faculty.

Participating in co-curricular and academic opportunities within the stream will help you get to know fellow high-achieving students from across faculties, schools, and disciplines. The e-community in Canvas will help you find out about upcoming co-curricular opportunities.

Dalyell Scholars can apply for a Student Life Grant under the Dalyell stream. This program provides funding and support for students to create innovative co-curricular projects that build a sense of community in the Dalyell stream.
