Student ambassadors have the opportunity to get involved with a wide range of events.
Examples of typical work
Student ambassadors working for the Student Recruitment Office are trained and normally work on the following events:
HE/Schools careers fairs
Student Ambassadors attend careers fairs held in schools and colleges and assist in the promotion of Exeter as an institution. They also provide a useful insight into the student experience.

Supporting/leading incoming visits from schools and colleges
Student Ambassadors assist in the programme of activities offered to incoming school visits. This may range from running a campus tour to delivering presentations on student life, choosing a course, or managing finances.

Student ambassadors are employed to work on residentials run on campus aimed at providing students with an insight into University life.

Student Ambassadors will have the opportunity to work on the STAR programme which supports young people in years 11-13 with the decision making process. The University is also part of the national Realising Opportunities programme and student ambassadors support this programme engaging in an e-mentoring platform with students across the UK.
