BE A MENTOR
Being a mentor is a difficult, but rewarding task. You can help someone find their path of life, choose from the possibilities and choices, make the right choice, and not only fight for but reach their dreams as well.
In your home country as a representative of the University of Miskolc, you can play the role of a mentor. You studied here, you became familiar with the study programmes and courses of the University, the lecturers, professors, fellow students, laboratories and Miskolc itself. You gained ample experience about the everyday life of a student from studying, preparing for and taking examinations, to shopping and enjoying life in Miskolc.
Why don't you help young people in your surroundings with your experience and your advice, all based on your years at the University of Miskolc as a former student. If you are interested in such a role, let us know [here]
International Student Ambassador Programme
The title of International Student Ambassador (ISA ) is awarded by the Rector of the University of Miskolc each year to a certain number of current international students on the occasion of the degree awarding ceremony of UM held in June.
International student ambassadors are selected based
- on their enthusiasm and commitment to assisting international students and promoting the University of Miskolc,

- as well as keeping in mind the international diversity of student ambassadors.
ISAs as active students and as Alumni of the UM shall

Deans of faculties have the right to nominate the most appropriate candidate for the title. Each faculty involved in international degree-programme education shall nominate yearly one student for the title who has completed at least one semester and who is not in his final year.
The final selection is done by the Committee of which members are the vice-rector for international relations of UM, the chancellor of the UM – or their their delegates - and the chairman of the Student Council of UM. Nominations shall precede at least with two months the awarding ceremony.
