UCAS 'Design your Future' event at Manchester

We managed to grab some time in the evening to visit the Manchester Christmas markets

Falmouth university has around 250 student ambassadors. Being a student ambassador is a great way to meet new people within university life and outside. What's also so great is that you get paid for doing things which you enjoy.

The student ambassador scheme supports the university and local events within the community and gives students the opportunity to get involved with aspiration-raising projects and to represent themselves, their courses and our university at open days, higher education fairs in schools and colleges, and campus tours, as well as supporting a huge variety of other events within the institution and the community.

I've been a student ambassador since 2011 when I first started at Falmouth when I was on the Foundation in Art & Design course. Over the past few weeks, I've been promoted as a senior ambassador with 17 others.

Over Sunday, Monday and Tuesday Tom, Christina and I have been at the 'Design your Future' event in Manchester. Tom studies Drawing at Falmouth and is a newly appointed senior ambassador too. We went up to Manchester with Christina who works in the Brand Management office between the 23rd-25th of November. You might of spotted us on stand 60.

The event offers prospective students the opportunity to decide what and where to study within art and design in a lively and stimulating exhibition environment. As current students our main aim is to talk about our own experiences of higher education at Falmouth, chat to students about the courses we offer and encourage students who are considering higher education to aim high. 

It's a great event to be involved with. I would like to thank the Ambassador Office for putting my name forward for this event and for Christina for driving us there and back.
