Games Design Taster Day Ambassador

The current opportunity is available to current Manchester Met students. To apply, you must be based in the UK for the duration of the role.

The Faculty Outreach team is recruiting four current Games Design students to support a series of Games Design Taster Days throughout the 2026/27 academic year.

These events give Year 12 and Year 13 students an insight into studying a creative or digital subject at university, helping them explore future education and career opportunities within the games and wider creative industries.

As a student ambassador, you'll play an important role in creating a welcoming and engaging experience for visitors. You'll share your experiences of studying Games Design at Manchester Met, help groups move between activities, and contribute to a student Q&A panel.
