Opportunity to work with GlobalCampus as an Ambassador

I am making it happen!

 

Are you unhappy with the fact that so many people are left behind because they don’t have access to more educational opportunities?

In many countries, only 1% of students can go to university due to the lack of education infrastructure, while in others universities struggle to fill their seats. Moreover, every year hundreds of millions of dollars of scholarships available around the world go unclaimed – most likely because people who need it never get to know money is available for them to achieve their goals. Everyone loses out, because the advances in medicine, science and all fields of knowledge that those students could have created will never see the light.

GlobalCampus wants to change this reality. We want to enable a free, global flow of information between students, universities and organizations – so that students can have the maximum opportunity to develop their talents, regardless of where they were born or how connected their family is.

Do you want to see it happen too? Become a GlobalCampus Ambassador and let’s work together to connect all students with global opportunities!

Tell Your Story - the winners!

Ladies and gentlemen,

In April we invited you to share your story with us and to let us help you stand out on the radar screen of international universities looking for talent from different corners of the world. The contest was a great success and we had many more videos than we were expecting – awesome! Nevertheless, this meant more drama and dilemma to choose the winners, and after a ‘Shakespearean act’ in the office, the GlobalCampus Team is back to very proudly announce the winners!

Before we start presenting our celebrities (and to create some suspense along the way) we want you to take into consideration these two things:

GlobalCampus adds scholarships for international students

One of our most exciting releases this past month has been the addition of our scholarship matching tool. When students create their profile, they are instantly matched with scholarships in our database based on their profile criteria. Currently we match students based on their citizenship, gender, age, and educational goals such as study destination, targeted subject and degree level. With millions of dollars in scholarships unclaimed each year, we aim to give international students the information they need to pursue those scholarships.

About GlobalCampus

What is GlobalCampus?

GlobalCampus connects young people with universities around the world to help them find the best opportunities for their future, wherever located.

How does it work?

GlobalCampus is an online community: students and institutions can create a profile and connect.

Student profiles work like CVs. Students can indicate the schools they have attended, their personal achievements, their aspirations and their preferred destinations to study. They can also add sample works and videos to present themselves and their interests.

The afternoon we beat Jenga

Let me introduce you to the fun side of working here – the team breaks. Have you thought of stopping everything you are doing at work to… play? Yeah, we regularly have team breaks to relax a bit, as we work a lot to make this site the best for you.
This week, as a huge team effort, we did beat Jenga!!!! Yeahhh we are great!! (I won’t mention my personal amateur fear each time a piece was removed…)
Our beloved CEO has accidentally (although I still believe it could have been sabotage) destroyed the team work the next day, bumping into our Jenga tower. Ok, we’ve got pictures…

Full speed ahead!

It’s all happening here and at a fast pace. We have been and are incredibly busy with developing the beta version of the site further by fine-tuning and optimising a number of existing and new features on the site. It takes a lot of work to be the best but the rewards the site will give to us all will make it well worth it!

We're in Beta and your feedback is very welcome

Global Campus is in Beta. The paint is still drying and there's a bit of stray plumbing still to fix, but we do exist!

We would love you to provide any feedback using the 'feedback' link at the top of every page or by using the 'flag' icons around the site to let us know if any information we have collected could be improved. Please let us know the good, the bad and the ugly...we have broad shoulders! Our goal is to improve our service for everyone and so anything that helps us improve is alright by us.

GlobalCampus makes recommendations

There is so much we intend to do with GlobalCampus that our biggest challenge has been to know where to start and how to begin with simplicity and focus.

In fact, I believe the core of what we do is actually easy to explain (although rather more difficult to implement) - and that is that GlobalCampus makes recommendations. We learn as much about you as we possibly can and we give you the best recommendations we can amongst your global options.
