Maastricht University Ambassador team

At information fairs and other activities for prospective students Maastricht University (UM) is always represented by its students. For this purpose, UM has its own team of ambassadors, consisting of students who are trained in presentation skills and who are informed about all ins and outs of studying in Maastricht. 

In addition to working during recruitment activities, you may be asked to perform other activities. These may include Experience Days, school visits or campus tours.

There are two kinds of ambassador teams:

 Faculty ambassadors (every faculty has his own team)
 All-round ambassadors, Dutch and International (ambassadors who have well-rounded knowledge concerning all UM programmes)

We are looking for enthusiastic and motivated students for both teams, who feel closely attached to UM. The working hours for an ambassador depend on the amount of promotion activities of 'your' team and your own availability. There are busy but also quiet periods of work. You are therefore expected to be flexibly deployable. But of course, your study always comes first!

Would you be interested in, in addition to the faculty ambassador work, also working for the Dutch or international all-round ambassador team and thereby taking on more hours? If so, please indicate this in your application.

• You are enthusiastic an motivated, you want to work for Maastricht University
• You have affinity with UM and are representative
• You have good presentation and communication skills
• You have a good command of English (or Dutch if applicable). Having a good command of multiple languages will put you at an advantage.
• You are independent, flexible and creative
• You have knowledge of the functionalities and possibilities of Microsoft Teams and other online presentation tools
• You are interested in other cultures and norms and values
• Having a driver's license will put you at an advantage.

We expect applicants to be available for at least one year to work at different activities. We offer a 0-hours contract what means no fixed hours or a fixed income.
