As a student ambassador, you provide prospective students with all the ins and outs about VU Amsterdam and your Bachelor's/Master's programme during orientation days (VU Bachelor Day's, VU Master's event), Taster Days and Student for a Day events as well as school information sessions. You could also work as a host, guide or crew member during an event.
Why become an ambassador?
Every year, the university organises VU Amsterdam 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, for example. When your ambassadorship ends, you can receive a certificate. - With flexibility
You can determine your hours and activities yourself. - For which you will be rewarded
You receive a standard compensation of €12.50 or €15.00 per hour (depending on your age) and also get compensated for traveling by public transport.
You can choose between becoming an ambassador specifically for the programme you follow or for VU Amsterdam in general. You can indicate your preferences in the registration form.
