Academic Ambassador training

Getting to know UKMC

UK Management College (UKMC) supports students studying higher education courses, including courses delivered with partner institutions. Students may have different courses, campuses and awarding or partner institutions. Always use the official UKMC website and your own course handbook to check the arrangements that apply to you.

Student Ambassadors help people feel included, share reliable information and direct students to the appropriate College team. They do not make academic decisions, investigate complaints or provide specialist professional advice.

Your specialist role

Encourage positive study habits, academic confidence and participation in learning opportunities.

Working with UKMC colleagues

You will work particularly closely with the Learning Resources and Library team, alongside the relevant academic and student-support colleagues. Share ideas, check arrangements and seek guidance before organising or publicising activities.

Promoting academic engagement

Help students discover study skills sessions, academic events and approved learning opportunities. Explain how participation can support confidence and progress.

Working with specialist teams

Work closely with the Learning Resources and Library team and liaise with relevant academic staff when promoting approved study support.

Academic integrity

Encourage students to use reliable sources, acknowledge other people’s work and follow their course guidance, including appropriate use of AI tools.

Listening and signposting

Listen to barriers to learning, share general feedback through appropriate routes and direct individual academic decisions to authorised staff.

Putting learning into practice

Plan one realistic activity, identify the colleagues you would involve, and consider how you will welcome students, communicate clearly and learn from feedback.
