Become a NTU Global Summer School student buddy

Sign up now to become a NTU Global Summer School (GSS) student buddy.

Last year, we had 127 students from all over the world join us at the City Campus to experience life as a student at NTU. This July we are hoping for even more international visitors, and we need your help to make it a success.

We're seeking enthusiastic and confident students who are passionate about NTU and who will be in Nottingham this July to join us as GSS student buddies.

About the role

As a student buddy, you will:

• Prepare and welcome international students to NTU and the UK, both via our pre-departure Teams meeting and in person.
• Support NTU Global and engage with students at our welcome events.
• Take students on campus tours.
• Support our after-class activities such as bowling, an evening social at the Pitcher and Piano, and a party in the Level.
• Join our weekend activities, including visits to Cambridge and Nottingham Castle.
• Take part in one of the courses by attending all sessions and completing any assignments.

The activities are free of charge to our buddies, and you will receive £60 towards any expenses that you may incur, for example while going to dinner with students, or taking them out on visits.

Why should I apply?

The role is a fantastic opportunity.

1. Gain invaluable international experience on campus.
2. Increase your confidence.
3. Improve your organisational and communication skills.
4. Boost your CV and LinkedIn profile.
5. Make friends for life from all over the world.
6. Upon successfully passing your GSS course you’ll receive a certificate of achievement, and your role as a student buddy will be recorded in your HEAR Diploma Supplement (not applicable for final year students).
