Apply for the Student Ambassador Scheme

The Student Ambassador Scheme recruits current students to support a wide range of events and activities organised by the Schools and Colleges Liaison Service (SCLS) including Open Days, HE Experience Days, University Visit Days, Subject Specific Taster Days, and visits to schools and colleges.

Ambassadors can share their own unique experiences including challenges and barriers they may have faced and overcome as well as successes and achievements.
