I am an International student

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.

You study here at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences, but you may have some doubts about the study programme you have chosen. You may have even stopped your studies. What now? What was different from what you expected and which study would suit you?

 We are happy to help you in your search for a new study. Read more about study programme guidance.
