The purpose of the study is to identify the personal qualities of an effective mentor in the modern university educational process as perceived by students. Research methods and organization. The study sample consisted of 208 undergraduate (1st-4th years) and graduate (1st-2nd years) students aged 17 to 36. The psychodiagnostic battery included an author-developed questionnaire in Yandex Forms, aimed at investigating perceptions of the mentor's role. Research results and conclusions. Students tend to focus more on the instrumental aspects of a mentor rather than the procedural characteristics. The perception of the mentor's image by students is influenced by the cultural and institutional norms prevalent in the educational environment.
