Engagement points
If you get involved in student organisations during your studies – for example, in the Student Union, a programme or student association, or as a student ambassador – you can earn engagement points (EG points) for certain tasks you carry out.
As a student at the University, there are many ways to get involved in student organisations and gain valuable experience for the future. Certain roles within student organisations earn you engagement points, known as EG points (previously called VG points), and if you have been involved, you can apply for a certificate of engagement that lists the roles you have held.
This earns you engagement points
You can earn EG points for roles within most programme and student societies, but also for roles within Halmstad Student Union and as a student ambassador for the University, for example.
Some examples of roles that earn EG points include roles in the freshers’ week, board roles in an association, working as a student ambassador at various events, and certain types of mentoring for other students.
How to make the most of your EG credits
Getting involved in student organisations provides you with a wealth of knowledge, experience and qualifications that can be beneficial for your future career. Through your EG credits, you can highlight the types of roles you have undertaken and showcase your experience on your CV.
The points can also be used as merit points in the merit assessment if you apply to go on an exchange programme whilst studying at the University.
Apply for a certificate of engagement
If you have carried out assignments that have earned you engagement points, you can apply to the University for a certificate of engagement. The certificate shows which assignments you have carried out, the number of hours involved, and how many points the assignments have earned you. You can apply for your certificate of engagement via the link.
