Become a USW Student Ambassador

As a Student Ambassador, you will represent the University and support a variety of activities designed to engage prospective students, applicants and visitors.

You will work on a range of on-campus events, including Open Days, Applicant Experience Days, Interview Days  and Information Fairs, where you will help visitors learn more about the University, its courses, facilities, and student life.

The role also offers potential opportunities to travel and represent USW at off-campus events, such as UCAS and Higher Education (HE) Fairs, as well as outreach activities with schools and colleges. These events help promote the University and encourage young people to consider higher education.

Ambassadors undertake a variety of responsibilities, including welcoming visitors, assisting with subject sessions, interacting with visitors, providing campus tours and accommodation tours. They may also share their experiences of studying at USW, answer questions from prospective students and their families, and deliver presentations about their course or student life.

You will be provided with an opportunity to develop valuable skills such as customer service, communication, teamwork, leadership, and public speaking, while helping prospective students make informed decisions about their future. You will receive £12.71 per hour, plus holiday pay, in a role that fits around your studies.
