Campus guides work under a guide coordinator who agrees and coordinates tours with visitors. New guides will be paid EUR 25 per tour for the first four tours, regardless of the type of tour. Subsequently, guides will be paid EUR 50 per guided tour. The duration of one campus tour is 1.5 hours, and it includes the following buildings:  Dipoli, Undergraduate Centre, Learning Centre, Väre and the School of Business. All guides will receive training and get an access to the video training material, general rules and good practices as well as the campus tour’s scripts. The campus tours are generally held on working hours and sometimes during evenings and weekends.
