The Access & Widening Participation Student Ambassador scheme is a chance for UCL students to take part in the Widening Participation activities we run.
We are not currently recruiting for Student Ambassador roles.
- What is the Access & Widening Participation Student Ambassador scheme?
UCL's Access and Widening Participation Office (AWPO) organises events and activities for young people from backgrounds that are under-represented at university. We work with students from non-selective state schools and lower-income families. We also work with teachers, parents, and other supporters, and with specialist groups such as disabled students, care-experienced, estranged students, Black students, mature students, and forced migrants.
Our aim is to raise their aspirations and attainment and to increase their knowledge of their higher education options.
- What do AWPO Student Ambassadors do?
Our AWPO Student Ambassadors help deliver our activities. Some activities involve mentoring, tutoring, being part of a student panel, talking to young people about UCL and their experience as students, delivering presentations to school, and attending HE fairs. This is a paid role.
- How to apply to become a WP student ambassador?
We are not currently recruiting new ambassadors for the scheme. Information regarding any future applications will be posted here.
The Job Description for the role can be found here.
