Buddy Programme

Adjusting to university life can be exciting and challenging. As a new student at the University of Luxembourg you may have a lot of questions and concerns during your first weeks on campus.
The aim of the Buddy Programme is to help you have a smooth transition to university life and to enable you to make friends and connections easily.
Buddy Guides are current students who volunteer their time to support a new student as they arrive and begin settling in to life in Luxembourg.

    What is the Buddy Programme?

    The Buddy System pairs a second- or third-year student (the Buddy Guide) with a first-year student (the Buddy) to help them settle in to life at the University of Luxembourg.

    Get an idea about what the programme offers (and doesn’t offer) in our videos:

    • Buddy Programme explanations (in English)
    • Buddy Programme explications (en français)
    • Buddy Programme Erklärungen (auf Deutsch)

    Note: some fields of study have study-specific programmes tailored towards first-year students. If you would like their support, please contact them directly:

    What does a Buddy Guide do?

    Buddy Guides are also students and have already experienced their first year at the University. Buddy Guides know what’s what on and off campus. They are there to help and guide you and to make your first months at the University of Luxembourg as welcoming as possible.

    Want to join?

    If you would like to join the programme as a Buddy or Buddy Guide please join the Buddy System platform! (Please note: you will only be able to register with your @student.uni.lu address). If you are a regular student (i.e. doing your whole study programme at the University of Luxembourg, please choose the option “Free mover“). We will send out a call for Buddy Guides at the beginning of the semester, so you will only find a match after your arrival. Please understand that it is not always possible to match you with someone from the same field of study.

    If you have any further questions, contact Claire Lallier or Jimmy Corneille.
