Become a European Institute Student Ambassador

As a UCL European Institute Ambassador, you will work alongside a small group of fellow student volunteers, the UCL European Institute interns and UCL European Institute staff to help engage students in the work of the Institute, and contribute new ideas for Europe-focused events, content and activity at UCL.

Role duties

UCL European Institute Ambassadors will:

• Promote the UCL European Institute, its role and activities to a student audience
• Join one 1.5 hour meeting per term to contribute/brainstorm ideas about how the UCL European Institute can most effectively engage a student audience and identify topics/formats which may be of particular interest
• Develop relationships with relevant student societies and explore opportunities for collaboration
• Help conceptualise, plan, organise and promote public events on behalf of the European Institute

Additional activities, to be undertaken in line with individuals’ interest and/or capacity:

• Subject to interest/capacity, research, write or commission content for the UCL Europe blog and UCL European Institute website
• Create social media posts and contribute to the development of the EI’s presence on Instagram and other student-facing platforms
• Organise and/or participate in EI student masterclasses or other student-led activity, in cooperation with UCL European Institute staff
• Participate in UCL European Institute workshops, roundtables and advisory board meeting

Hear what last year’s Student Ambassadors had to say about their experience:

““I did not expect to have such great access to a range of events, as well as the opportunity to speak with leading professionals. I would highly encourage anyone thinking of becoming an ambassador to do so,”
