Become a student ambassador
We are looking for Centria students to share their experiences regarding studying at Centria and Finland.
Join Centria’s international Student Ambassador team!
Student ambassadors play a key role in Centria’s applicant marketing. The role is flexible and adapts to your skills and interests. Are you passionate about your field of study and eager to share it? Do you enjoy creating social media content? As an international student ambassador at Centria, you will get to do exactly that.
As a student ambassador, you will mainly create content for our social media channels, showing what studying at Centria and living in Finland is all about. You will also have the chance to participate in events organized by Centria UAS, both on campus and online.
What matters most in this role is a positive attitude and a genuine passion for sharing your experiences. Since you will be creating social media material, some experience, or at least the motivation to develop your skills, will be helpful. Creativity and a good phone go a long way too.
What you will gain from this experience is not just a year-long role, but connections and networks that can last much longer. You will develop your marketing and communication skills, learn teamwork, collaboration, planning, and more. You won’t be alone in this: training and guidance will be provided by an expert in student recruitment, and you will meet regularly with your fellow ambassadors to plan ideas and share your progress.
