Join the International Student Ambassadors. Apply by 29 September

Are you an international bachelor’s or master’s student? If so, the University of Tartu invites you to apply for the International Student Ambassadors (ISA) programme.  

The International Student Ambassadors (ISA) is a primarily volunteer-based programme that was established in 2012. The main goal of the programme is to help prospective students get to know the university as well as lifestyle in Tartu and Estonia. International student ambassadors answer questions and share authentic experiences of living in Estonia and studying at the University of Tartu, ensuring that students feel a connection with the university from the very beginning. 

By representing their home countries and the international student community, ambassadors also promote the University of Tartu both within Estonia and abroad, attending fairs, info sessions and other events. Through personal experiences, they provide valuable insights for those considering their own studies at the university. 

The ambassadors contribute to the ISA blog, write articles for the university website, and assist in organising the podcast "Tiksu to UniTartu" as well as creating posts for the ISA Facebook page. They also organise events for both prospective and current students and help produce video content for the university’s Instagram and YouTube channels. When applying, you will need to indicate which team you would like to join, such as Facebook, Content, Events, or Video. For more detailed information about each team's structure and responsibilities, click here.  

International student ambassadors are expected to remain in the team for at least one year.
