International Student Ambassadors: Chinese Social Media Focus

Gothenburg University strives to be an international higher education institution that attracts international students. Today, we offer approximately 80 master's programs and several bachelor's programs in English that are open to international applicants. To communicate with prospective and current international students, we use student ambassadors – current students who can represent the university and share their experiences of studying at Gothenburg University. Student ambassadors also participate in the university's welcome program and various events throughout the academic year to give international students a good start to their studies. As part of our international outreach efforts, we are active on various Chinese social media platforms, where our student ambassadors play a key role in representing the university to prospective students from China. The position is at the Communications Unit, which is part of the university's central administration.
