Do you care about student learning experiences? Would you like to help shape online and digitally supported education at Leeds?
Digital Education is recruiting a team of Student Ambassadors for the 2026/27 academic year. This flexible, part-time role is open to undergraduate, taught postgraduate and PhD students from all faculties.
As a Student Ambassador, you will help us design and improve digital education with and for students. You will share student insight, take part in focus groups and user testing and review student-facing guidance. You will also support co-design activities, and help make digital learning resources more inclusive and easier to use.
You do not need to be a digital expert. We are looking for students who are curious, thoughtful and interested in how education can be improved through student voice, inclusive design and practical feedback.
