As an ambassador, you provide prospective students with all the ins and outs about VU Amsterdam and/or your (Bachelor's/ Master's) programme during orientation days (VU Bachelor Days, Master's Event), taster days and school information sessions. You can also work as a host, guide or crew member during various events.
Why become an ambassador?
Every year, the university organises events and orientation activities specifically for prospective students. Your role as an ambassador is very valuable in this. You as a student understand better than anyone else how difficult it is to choose a study and you can advise future students by sharing your experiences. In addition, the role of ambassador is the ideal extracurricular activity to do next to your studies:
- To expand your network: you join an enthusiastic student team and get to know others
- To enhance your CV: you work on your communication skills and develop presentation skills. Plus you can receive a certificate after your period of ambassadorship ends.
- With flexibility: you can determine your hours and activities yourself
- With a reward: you receive a standard compensation of €12.50 or €15.00 per hour (depending on your age) and also get compensated for your travel costs and travel time.
You can choose between becoming an ambassador specifically for the (Bachelor's) programme you follow, or for VU in general. You can indicate your preferences in the registration form.
