Event Details

The Role Model Ambassador programme was developed to provide young people the opportunity to engage with current students from backgrounds similar to their own about higher education and university life.

Born out of a dedicated research project working with the British South Asian Community and Islamic Faith Schools in Lancashire, the programme now provides the opportunity for in-school and campus visits supported by a dedicated team of Role Model Ambassadors. The project has been highly successful, receiving positive feedback and resulting in a demonstrable impact on the participants, schools and their parents/supporters. The programme has improved practice across the University and developed a unique and impactful delivery model, planned to be rolled out across further underrepresented groups in the future.
