Student Ambassadors are nominated each year by their Head of Department and First Year Convenors for the programme they are studying.
First Year Convenors are lecturers who work closely with incoming first year students, and each year choose their Student Ambassadors because they are highly active, current students (academically and socially) who are passionate, enthusiastic and spirited about sharing their experiences with new and prospective students.

- Attend information sessions on their programme of study
- Learn about all the various support services that are in place for students
- Meet with the key staff members who will help and guide them through their time DkIT
