Buddy Programme 2026: Become a Senior Buddy for the GSLS

Thanks for your interest in the Buddy Programme! 💛

We’re so glad you're considering becoming a Buddy for our Master’s students. This programme focuses on building a welcoming, supportive community and your role is key!

As a Buddy, you will:

Have the opportunity to follow a (recommended) training workshop (2hrs)*
Organize a meetup with your assigned group of new students (in September)
Join at least one social event hosted by us (September - November)
Support your assigned new students by answering questions and helping them transition smoothly

* If you can not attend the training for senior buddy, read the guidebook
It’s a great chance to make new friends, build your network, and develop communication skills all while also having fun. Plus, it looks great on your CV! Buddies who attend at least 3 events from the schedule below will also recieve a voucher to thank them for their efforts!

Thanks again for being part of this. We will contact you with more information after sign-ups have closed!
