What is the buddysystem?
The Buddysystem matches 2nd or 3rd year students to first-year students who need some extra support in their first year.
Wat does a buddy do?
The buddies are students themselves, so their own first-year experiences are still fresh in their minds. The buddies know what's what, are doing the same degree course as the first-year students, maintain personal contact with them, and are easy to get hold of.
They can share their own experiences with the first-year students and point the way at the FSW and in the degree programme, share important websites etc. For the first-year students it is nice to have someone they can go to with all their questions. As a buddy, you help to develop the study skills and/or social skills of first-year students who need a little extra support.
Organisation
The Buddysystem is an extra provision to help first-year students at the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences to get their studies off to a good start.
