Want to become student ambassador for exchange studies?

NEWS Are you a student who has been on exchange studies or have done an internship abroad through Umeå University? Do you enjoy inspiring others and sharing your experiences? Then you may be the person we are looking for! Apply by 19th of August.

What does a student ambassador do?

As a student ambassador for the International Office, you help spread information about exchange studies and internships abroad. You share your own experiences and inspire other students to take the opportunity to study or do an internship in another country.

You participate in various activities such as:

  • Welcome days
  • Information meetings and webinars
  • Events for both Swedish and international students

You are welcome to contribute with your own ideas on how we can reach more students!

‘We want more students to become aware of the opportunity to go abroad. As an ambassador, you are an important part of that work,’ says Gwen King, international coordinator at the International Office.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for someone who:

  • is a student at Umeå University,
  • has been on an exchange or done an Erasmus internship,
  • wants to be an ambassador during the autumn semester of 2025 (and preferably longer),
  • enjoys speaking in front of people and sharing their experiences.

You will be part of a team with other student ambassadors – both new and experienced. You will receive a short training course before you start and get paid for your assignment.

How to apply

Send us a short letter telling us:

  • where you have been on exchange or internship,
  • why you want to become an ambassador,
  • a little about your experiences from your studies/internship abroad.

Send your application to outgoing.io@umu.se by 19 August 2025 at the latest.
