If you are a current Leeds Beckett student, you may be able to work as a Student Ambassador. On this page you'll find information about what our ambassadors do and what to do if you'd like to become an ambassador.

We have five types of ambassadors:

Student Recruitment Ambassadors work on our Open Days and Applicant Days. They meet and greet prospective students on our events, lead tours of our campuses and work alongside course leaders to answer questions about their course. Recruitment Ambassadors can also apply for the role of Outreach Ambassadors. These are a small group of Ambassadors who work with the Student Outreach team. The Ambassadors visit schools and colleges to talk to students about higher education and Leeds Beckett, and inspire them to consider applying to university.

If you are an existing Student Recruitment or Outreach Ambassador, more information can be viewed on the Information for existing Course and Outreach Ambassadors webpage.
