This autumn term, we are recruiting a team of 6 Post-Grad Community Ambassadors, 1 at each of the 6 colleges, with the possibility of further employment.
Here at UAL we have a Post-Grad Community programme active across all of our six colleges. The Post-Grad Community platform aims to build and provide access to a diverse programme of events that target our entire postgraduate taught and research student body.
Ambassadors will assist with our social media channels, help deliver and plan events and act as ambassadors and point of contact for the Post-Grad Community.
