Become an Ambassador for Voices of the Study City
Help shape student life in Kolding as an ambassador for Voices of the Study City
Do you want to help make Kolding an even better city to study in? Would you like to meet new people, visit companies and organisations, and help turn good ideas into reality?
Then you can apply to become part of Voices of the Study City.
What’s in it for you?
As an ambassador you will get:
Real influence on how Kolding develops as a study city
The opportunity to provide input that reaches decision-makers in Kolding, including the mayor and city council
Insight into companies and organisations in Kolding
A strong network across different study programmes
Experience in turning ideas into concrete proposals
Skills that strengthen your CV
New connections and a community with other engaged students
A fee of 7,500 DKK
In short: you gain influence, experience, and new connections.
What is Voices of the Study City?
Voices of the Study City is an ambassador corps made up of students from higher education institutions in Kolding. The initiative was created because educational institutions, the municipality, and local businesses have all said: “We want to hear the students’ voices more clearly.”
The aim is not only to address the needs of businesses and organisations, but also to ensure that students have real influence on decisions and new initiatives that affect student life in Kolding, while also strengthening connections between students and local employers.
In short: to give students a stronger voice in the city. For this, we are looking for 5–10 ambassadors.
The ambassadors will become part of The Whole Study City, a partnership between ALFABO, Business Kolding, SDU Kolding, and Kolding Municipality. The partnership strives to make Kolding an even better place to study, live, work, and build a life.
As an ambassador, you will participate in a time-limited programme with specific activities and receive a total fee of 7,500 DKK. You will not be employed by an organisation.
What will you do?
As an ambassador you will:
Participate in a joint kick-off and 3–4 meetings during the year
Visit companies (in May) and housing organisations (in autumn)
Provide honest and concrete feedback on your own and fellow students’ views on student jobs, internships, the transition to work, and housing
Talk to other students and bring their perspectives into the process
Participate in an innovation workshop in November, where recommendations will be developed
You are not a spokesperson for your educational institution, but you should be willing to gather and share perspectives from fellow students.
Time commitment
The total time commitment is expected to be approximately 25–35 hours in 2026, and activities will be planned so they can be combined with your studies.
Who can apply?
You can apply if you:
Are a student in 2026 at a higher education institution in Kolding
Are interested in engaging with student life in Kolding
Are curious and willing to share your opinion
Are interested in talking with students and bringing their perspectives forward
Both Danish and international students are welcome to apply, and you do not need previous experience. The most important thing is your motivation to get involved.
