Who are we looking for?

From aerospace engineering to fine art, we understand that not everyone knows what they want to be in the future whilst studying at university - and that's ok. This year, we have decided to open up our application form for all students, regardless of the discipline that they are studying.

Whilst we have removed our disciplinary requirement, we do still have a university requirement in place. To be eligible to become a campus ambassador, you must be attending one of the following universities: Durham University, University of Bristol, University of Exeter, Queen Mary University of London, University of Edinburgh, University of Manchester, University of Liverpool, SOAS University of London, University of Sheffield, Lancaster University.

So, what's required from me?

This year, we've decided to shake things up slightly. Alongside a CV, we're asking applicants to submit a video for reviewal by our early careers marketing team.

What should I include?

• A brief introduction about yourself;
• what discipline you're currently studying at university;
• what about Clyde & Co interests you the most;
• a time you've had to put your creative mindset to the test;
• if applicable, a brand, marketing, or social media campaign that you're previously worked on;
• if someone gave you £1million right now, how would you go about spending it?; and
• to round things off, a fun fact about yourself.

As a campus ambassador, creativity and innovation are key, so please feel free to truly express yourself. In terms of video length, whilst we won't be putting any limitations in place, we do encourage all applicants to keep their video submissions below 180 seconds.

I really do think that I'm the one, so what's next?

If the marketing team is impressed with what they see, then you'll be invited to a final stage interview. This is where you'll get to meet other members of the early careers team and ask any further questions about the role that may be pondering your mind*.
