Buddy program

The Aureus Buddy Program is a buddy matching service provided by the Aureus Exchange Committee. The service is especially for international students coming to study at the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration.
The main intention of this program is to secure that all new international students can get help and feedback from FEWEB students at the VU; both before, during and after they have settled in Amsterdam.

It is our understanding that it can be quite difficult to move to a new country and understand how everything works. That is why we started this Buddy Program.

However, another positive side to the Buddy Program is that it gives students that already study at the faculty the opportunity to meet new people, learn a language and learn about cultures by helping them exploring the city, giving them the opportunity to make new friends and help them with everything that you had to discover when you started studying at the VU in Amsterdam.

Please note that the program is only intended for students studying at FEWEB.
