The opportunity
Choosing a university can be daunting. Applicants want honest answers from people who have been in their position. As a Unibuddy Student Ambassador, you’ll be one of the real voices of Abertay—chatting with prospective students on the Unibuddy app, sharing what life here is actually like and helping them decide if we’re the right fit.
You’ll represent your course and Abertay across digital channels, create simple smartphone content and join student Q&A panels at Open Days and Offer Holder Days.
What you’ll do
1. Chat on Unibuddy: respond promptly to questions about your course, student life, Dundee and how the place really works.
2. Create content: short-form video, photos and blogs for social and web. You’ll also feature in professional shoots from time to time.
3. Guide and signpost: point students to accurate info and the right teams (Admissions, Accommodation, Finance, etc.).
4. Front the brand at events: take part in live panels and student briefings.
5. Keep conversations warm: ask good questions, build rapport, and follow up.
What you’ll bring
6. You’re currently enrolled at Abertay.
7. Positive about your course and the uni—and honest when it matters.
8. Comfortable filming and doing basic edits on a smartphone.
9. Fast, friendly written communication.
10. Ability to use own judgement when tackling tougher questions.
11. Proactive: you don’t wait to be asked.
What you’ll gain
12. Paid, flexible work around your timetable.
13. Real experience in digital comms, content and customer service.
14. Strong evidence for your CV: communication, teamwork, problem-solving.
15. A chance to shape how future students see Abertay.
