Becoming a Student Ambassador 

Students from the University of Sheffield are an important asset to our outreach and recruitment activities. Their input often makes a great impact in terms of promoting pathways into Higher Education, providing insights to student life and signposting applicants to our undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Applicants should have a keen interest in working with young people and supporting their journey to Higher Education.

We need an engaged and enthusiastic pool of Student Ambassadors throughout the year, especially during peak periods of activity between April and September, namely around our undergraduate open days. In addition to open days, we require Ambassadors to work with us on school/college activities – hours for this are varied dependent upon school/college bookings. Some of these work opportunities fall outside of standard university semester dates. Work opportunities are usually advertised via email.

While the ambassador role does not guarantee a regular income, it allows students to take on work as-and-when their other commitments allow. However, it is a paid role and, as such, we expect a high level of reliability from all Ambassadors.

The University of Sheffield is committed to safeguarding children and young people.
