As a current Cardiff Metropolitan University student, you will serve as a positive and responsible role model, demonstrating good knowledge of employability opportunities and progression routes within secondary and higher education. You will bring enthusiasm and a friendly approach, with excellent communication and interpersonal skills coupled with a commitment to providing an excellent student experience.

Why become a Student Ambassador?

Being a Student Ambassador will give you the opportunity to develop skills such as communication, leadership, and teamwork as well as meeting and working with other students and staff across the university. This is a casual opportunity offering flexible, ad hoc hours — ideal for gaining paid experience that fits around your studies.
