What is the role of a Student Ambassador?

Student Ambassadors positively promote IADT and the role includes giving presentations, helping at Open Days and Taster Days, conducting campus tours, attending career fairs and school visits. Student Ambassadors may from time to time contribute to IADT’s social media presence by writing posts for the IADT social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram).
