Lund University was founded in 1666 and is repeatedly ranked among the world’s top universities. The University has around 47 000 students and more than 8 800 staff based in Lund, Helsingborg and Malmö. We are united in our efforts to understand, explain and improve our world and the human condition.

Lund University welcomes applicants with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We regard gender equality and diversity as a strength and an asset.

Lund University is repeatedly ranked among the world’s top 100 universities. The University has 40 000 students and some of these are new international students from all over the world.

The Student Experience and Mobility team, at the Division of External Relations, works with service and communication for international students at Lund University.

Within our Mentor Programme, hundreds of current students work to help new international students find their way around Lund, the university and to find a social network to enrich their time at Lund University so they feel included and integrated. The mentors work on Arrival Day, during the Orientation Weeks and during the semester in mentor groups. As the Mentor Coordinator, you are responsible for recruiting new mentors and act as the main contact person for all mentors.


Your tasks may include:

  • Recruitment of new students for the Mentor Program
  • Communication with mentors
  • Assisting in the preparation of the Orientation Weeks
