Social media guidelines
Are you planning on updating your UG social media accounts or creating new accounts for your department or faculty? On this page, you will find several documents that will help you make these social media accounts look more professional. As the UG, we think it’s important to stay consistent in the way we present ourselves online in terms of our tone of voice and the look and feel of our content. That’s why we have created a social media strategy and a set of social media guidelines that can help you when sharing your content online. You can read these guidelines and the strategy when you log in to MyUniversity.
We also organise a monthly walk-in consultation hour where you can ask all of your questions related to social media and get suggestions from our content team. At the bottom of this page, you’ll find an overview of the upcoming dates for these walk-in consultations.

Recognisability
Due to the many different UG and UG-related social media accounts, it is important that audiences are able to recognize official UG-accounts and that audiences are able to distinguish between different accounts in order to increase findability.
