Student Ambassadors
Student Ambassadors are current students who help to promote the University and higher education.
As a Student Ambassador you can get involved in a whole range of opportunities to support the work
of the University. In particular Student Ambassadors help our Student Recruitment team and Outreach team.
This includes supporting visit days, open days, campus tours, higher education fairs, school talks, clearing,
campus visits and summer schools.
Those working with the Outreach team also provide help and advice about the different options available to
those wanting to study at Higher Education in general.
