Each year Cranfield University recruits a team of enthusiastic and professional students to be the voice of the University as part of our ambassador programme.
Our diverse group of Ambassadors come from all nationalities and help to inspire prospective students from around the world. They embody our truly international community and share their experiences as a postgraduate student at Cranfield, whilst highlighting the values and vision we hold.

Ambassador testimonials
"Stepping into the shoes of a student ambassador was like strapping on a cape of knowledge and wearing a smile that could light up a campus. From sharing my love for learning to guiding future scholars, it was a journey of making lasting connections and igniting a spark of curiosity in others. Being an ambassador made me a proud advocate for my university, a beacon of inspiration, and a master of the campus map. My time as a student ambassador will forever be etched in my story of growth and impact. Count me in as your ambassador for life!” - Anushka
“My experience as a student ambassador has been so amazing and fulfilling. I have the chance to talk to prospective students through call campaigns, open days and Unibuddy, about my journey here at Cranfield, this not only helps me to improve my communication skills but also allows me to assist them through the process that sometimes can be uncertain. The best part of it is receiving gratitude comments from the applicants, and getting to know that my help was really useful. I am so glad to have the chance to represent my country and university as an ambassador.” - Flor
