Here’s what our past and current Student Ambassadors say....
If you love your course and what you do at TU Dublin, then don't hide it! Being a student ambassador gives you the opportunity to represent your course as well as student life at TU Dublin, to be there for students who were once in your position, not sure what course was for them or what student life is like, I think being a student ambassador is like volunteering, getting paid is a bonus! I would also recommend the Peer Mentor program and the LIFT and LEAD Award. You can't get back a missed opportunity!

Being a student ambassador gave me the opportunity to meet students, staff from other disciplines and other university staff. It gave me confidence speaking to people and I also learned more about the university and the support and opportunities available.

Being a student Ambassador has been really helpful for managing my course and being able to work a bit on the side. If you're thinking about doing it, I'd definitely recommend it.
