    I am an International student

    Leaving home to study in a different country, starting higher education, the transition from secondary school. Your life has been turned upside down! Far from family and friends, running a household and getting used to the higher education language level: it can be quite a challenge. Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences will help you.

    Student Welfare advisors offers personal guidance and coaching. We can, for example, link you to a peer-coach. They are hands-on experts who can also help you to feel at home here. We can help with: homesickness, finding your way around higher education, language barriers, and also study-related subjects such as motivation, planning, language and effective study methods. Whatever your question, we will make a plan to help you.

     

    Workshops

    Vacancy Peer-coach

    We are looking for students in their 2nd year or further to function as a peer-coach for other students. Our hands-on peer-coaches are experts who help other students through their own experiences. You have been where they are, so you know what they need.
    As a peer-coach you function as a contact for your fellow students. Your job is to guide them and make the most of their study experience. You coach them individually and in small groups. You listen to what they need and by knowing this you can plan a meeting to help them. Think about helping with study skills like planning, providing support when they feel lonely and overwhelmed being new in The Netherlands and studying abroad. Besides developing and organizing these activities you also join an intervision meeting with the student welfare advisor.
    We offer you an instructive and challenging job to develop yourself and learn how to coach others. Your contract will be on a 2 hours per week basis. There is an obligatory training (for study credit).
    Got you excited? Contact us by sending your C.V. and motivation letter.


    If you do not wish to be a peer-coach but you could use one yourself: contact us as well.
