Become a buddy for international students!

Are you passionate about helping others and eager to expand your cultural horizons? Become a buddy for international students at VU Amsterdam this upcoming semester!

Every year, around 900 students from across the globe join VU Amsterdam through our incoming exchange and Semester in Amsterdam programmes. By becoming a buddy, you'll play a key role in welcoming them, helping them find their way in Amsterdam, and making their transition smoother.

Being a buddy isn’t just about helping others—it is a rewarding experience for you too! Here’s what you gain:

  • Enhance your intercultural skills: Interact with students from diverse backgrounds and develop your ability to navigate different cultures.
  • Expand your network: Make friends from all over the world and build connections that last a lifetime.
  • Engage in fun social activities: Participate in various events and activities organised throughout the semester.
  • Boost your language skills: Practice and improve your foreign language abilities in a real-world setting.
  • Exclusive membership perks: Receive a free ESN VU Amsterdam membership card, giving you access to special events and discounts.
  • Add value to your CV: Gain international experience and receive a certificate at the end of the programme, showcasing your intercultural skills to future employers.

Joining the Buddy Programme is a fantastic opportunity to support international students while enriching your own university experience. You’ll not only help them settle into their new life and studies in Amsterdam but also grow personally and professionally.
