Why become a buddy?

It's a great idea to become a buddy, as you will become a part of an international study enviroment on campus, where you can develop your intercultural competences and improve your language skills, while meeting students from around the World.

Buddy tasks:

  • Contacting students before their arrival
  • Picking up students at the train station
  • Showing students around the city and the campus
  • Organizing social and cultural activities

Benefits of becoming a buddy:

  • Improved soft skills (problem solving, event planning, etc.)
  • Improved language skills
  • Broader network both in and outside Denmark
  • Special events and trainings for buddies

This activity is volunteer-based. After you sign up, you will be contacted by the responsible coordinator. You will then be invited to attend a buddy training, in order to prepare you to welcome the new students.

Are you ready?
