The International Buddy Programme is a programme from Uppsala Student Union.
The main intention with this programme is to make sure that all new international students receive help and feedback by students at Uppsala University, both before, during and after they have settled in Uppsala.
About being a NewbieA Newbie is the Buddy programme's definition of a new/incoming student in Uppsala. You will be put in contact with more experienced Uppsala University students who want to help you out with your arrival in Sweden. They, along with your Buddy coordinator, will provide you with all the information and help you might need before, during and after your settling in Uppsala.
Note that the matching process will be done during the winter break and you will be contacted by your buddy a few weeks before the official arrival days. If there are any questions before that, dont hesitate to contact the buddy coordinator at: buddy.coor@uskar.se
