Active since 2018, the ambassador programme brings together enthusiastic international students who seek further opportunities to represent their alma mater and bring the international community together. These opportunities include wide range of activities such as:
participation at university fairs
social media management
content creation
blogging about student life
market research
limited university merchandise ideas
event ideas, management, and attendance
meetings with stakeholders
participation on future heading of our university
The ambassador programme is diverse and very dynamic, yet inherently prestigious. The core team of ambassadors attend meetings with coordinators where they discuss possible events and goals for the next semester while brainstorming new schemes of cooperation. Ambassadors may be approached with a chance to travel abroad and represent Charles University on various recruitment events. Similarly, those keen to do PR work may become part of our social media team. We especially welcome active students who would like to help us create more inclusive environment and serve as community leaders, both online and in-person.
This year, we are also looking for creative beings who would like to do a short-term internship with an American YouTube creator and work together on the upcoming digital marketing campaign for Charles University. Such internship will include:
light internet research
filming/photography
assistance on shoots
editing skills are a bonus
1) What are the responsibilities of a student ambassador?
Student ambassadors can either work on the outside or within the university. They represent university on social media or during various events, they are involved with the university PR group, and work with international applicants and other stakeholders. On the other hand, they work with international students, listen to their needs, and trhey are responsible for events aiming at integrating the international and local crowds. Regardless of their particular role, student ambassador is expected to be a reliable partner of the university and complete the tasks, he or she is assigned to.
2) What is the time commitment of a student ambassador?
Being a student ambassador is not particularly time consuming role. It is much more about being in the right place at the right time in order to share the information and own experience. There are 3-4 meetings with the coordinators per year and regular activities on social media. The rest is always up to the ambassador, which activities he or she chooses to fulfill.
3) What are the requirements to be a student ambassador of CU?
Apart from the enthusiasm, we are looking for full-degree students enrolled in any of the study programmes at our university. Applicants from all faculties in Prague, Pilsen, and Hradec Kralove are welcomed! For the purpose of sharing own experience, we are looking for students in at least their second year of study but not exceeding the standard length of study. Communication language recquired from all our ambassadors (apart from their mother tongue) is English. Any other relevant information or skills are welcomed but optional.
4) Is there any reward involved?
Every semester, each student ambassador is awarded a scholarship according to the tasks he or she completed. Ambassadors also receive a Certificate of recognition that can serve as a proof of their prestigious position at the university level.
