Our volunteering opportunities are designed to help you stay connected, share your knowledge and experience, and play an active role in supporting our global alumni community. 

We advertise volunteering opportunities throughout the year, including:

  • Becoming a mentor: Support a current student through our 3-month mentoring programme
  • Sharing your experience: Provide guidance to a current student on a one-off basis through our Alumni-Student Chats programme.
  • Boosting a student’s employability: You can enhance our Careers Service offer to students as a speaker or panel member at an event, by delivering a skills workshop, or by hosting a student at your company.
  • Contributing to our global community: Give back wherever you are in the world, by speaking to prospective students in your hometown, supporting an alumni event in your country, or sharing your story on our digital channels.

If you’d like to be the first to hear about new ad-hoc opportunities, please register your interest using the form below.
