Volunteers of the Autumn 2012 programme celebrate

 

In July and August, approximately more than 300 new international students will arrive in Tromsø. Through the Introductory Programme, they will be welcomed and introduced to the city and to various academic and practical matters. All of it depends on Norwegian and International volunteers.

WHAT DO YOU DO?

Volunteers receive and assist new students with practical matters during the Introductory programme. The new students address our volunteers with a lot of small and big questions regarding student life in Tromsø. You can provide the answers and give the international newcomers a good start at UiT.

What do you get in return?

  • training
  • an exciting and interesting experience
  • a certificate and a "plus" on your CV
  • practice your English or other language skills

But most important: You get to know a lot of fantastic people from all over the world!
