University College Absalon’s Ambassador Corps

University College Absalon’s Ambassador Corps

The Ambassador Corps consists of proud, enthusiastic students from University College Absalon’s many different degree programmes and all campuses. The Ambassador Corps is the face University College Absalon presents to the outside world.

The objective of the Ambassador Corps is to inform potential new students about the variety of degree programmes available at University College Absalon and about life as a student – with a view to helping them make an informed choice about their education.

At University College Absalon, we are committed to ensuring that young people and adults who are looking to embark on a degree are well-informed about our programmes. Their decision should be based on in-depth understanding of what each degree programme has to offer. They are free to choose to study elsewhere, as long as their decision is based on what we commonly refer to as informed information. We believe that being well-informed makes a significant difference to the likelihood of students completing their degree.
