Student Ambassadors

Who are they?

Every year during the summer term, we recruit about 40 Ambassadors to help represent the College at events. To apply you need to be aged 16-19 and be enrolled on your second year at City of Bristol College, on a full-time course. Most of the work that they do involves talking about their own College experiences to school students, but also there are a number of public events that they get involved in.

Still, we have a fantastic group of student ambassadors to help Maggie and myself out. Their input is invaluable and gives those still at school a really clear insight into what college life is really about'
Katherine, Schools’ Liaison Co-ordinator.
