Roles of the student ambassadors 

The ambassadors will work with the Education team for the duration of the contract period to promote the work, life and opportunities that come from studying in the UK. They will provide a wider perspective of studying by sharing knowledge and experience with Hong Kong students, encouraging greater participation and awareness of UK education.
