The British Council Philippines is looking for Filipino students in the UK to join their Education team as UK Student Ambassadors to give Filipinos an insight on living and studying in the UK.

Student Ambassadors promote the work, life and academic opportunities that come from studying in the UK, and builds stronger networks and opportunities for UK Alumni through different media. They serve as guides for Filipinos wanting to study in the UK through their regular social media posts and essays chronicling their student lives in the UK.

Launched last year, the programme is part of the British Council Philippines' campaign to increase awareness and raise the profile of UK education. Three UK Student Ambassadors from varying fields were chosen in 2015. One from the arts (Central Saint Martins), one from the media (Royal Holloway, University of London) and another from the business (Cass Business School)—three whose experiences in the UK as a Filipino student inspired other, potential Filipino applicants to the UK’s higher education offerings.

If there are Filipino students studying in your university, we hope you can invite them to apply for this position. Deadline of application is on 2 December (23:59 UK Time)
