Become an Outreach Ambassador

Becoming an Outreach Ambassador for AUB means working with the Access and Participation team on events and projects which seek to make Creative Higher Education more accessible.

You'll support students who are from groups which are currently underrepresented in higher education, such as young people who have experience of being in care, are young carers, and/or are the first in their family to attend university.

As an Outreach Ambassador, you'll be a relatable role model for young people who may be facing a range of challenges stemming from their background or economic circumstances. If you feel you can be that role model, apply to be an outreach student ambassador with the Access and Participation team.
