BAME Ambassadors

The BAME Ambassador Scheme is a student-led collaboration between The Union and the University which aims to improve student experience and close the awarding gap for Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic (BAME) students.

We develop and deliver campaigns and events for students related to the BAME student caucuses, as well as linking with University staff and The Union to feedback students’ views to influence positive change on campus.

I've absolutely loved being a BAME Ambassador! It has opened lots of opportunities for me to network and gain new skills, I've met amazing people, and created lots of valuable connections and memories. I’d definitely recommend it
