At One Degree, we don’t force students to join our programme. But for those who are selected and commit to our mentoring sessions, maximum participation leads to maximum results!
Our sessions are designed to be inspiring, engaging, and impactful. By joining, you’ll benefit both academically and personally—so long as you show up, work hard, and embrace the experience!
Here’s what we’re looking for in a One Degree student:
- Commitment to attending the full programme
- Respect for our volunteers, your peers, and yourself
- Openness to trying new things and approaches
- Ambition to improve your situation
Important Note: We’re not looking for students with perfect grades—we’re looking for those with big aspirations and a drive to succeed.
STEP 1
- Get your school involved
- Complete your student regsitration here
After this you will be contacted by email if you have been accepted and about your next steps. This takes 2-3 business days.
It is recommended to register using your personal email and not a school email as some school network servers will block external emails to students. This also allows you to stay in contact and up to date with One Degree when you leave school!
STEP 2
Once you have been contacted by One Degree about your regsitration you will be asked to do the following:
- Book an introduction video call here. Here we will discuss how One Degree works, how to make best use of it and what your next steps are to get started. It is best to book this call along with a parent/guardian so they understand how One Degree works too.
STEP 3
Following your introduction video call you can then decide if you wish to proceed. If you do, the below will be your next steps:
- Complete the student / parent agreement (will be sent to you)
- Register for the One Degree Online Network here – this is a separate registration to the student application form you will have completed already and you will ONLY be approved if you have completed your student application form and signed your student agreement.*PLEASE NOTE: Approval does not happen immediately.*
