General Information
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. Working for both faculty as well as country teams is a possibility as well!
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.
We are looking for enthusiastic and motivated students
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!

- Law (FoL)
- Health, Medicine and Life Sciences (FHML)
- Psychology (FPN)
- Arts and Social Sciences (FASoS)
- Economics & Business (SBE)
