The Admissions and Outreach Officer in the Faculty of Law, Emma White, is looking for up to 8 undergraduate students to act as Ambassadors to help with the Clifford Chance Law Taster days. The Ambassadors will work across 11/12 March 2024 with the possibility of additionally working the online event on 13 March in the evening.

The attendees will have the opportunity to experience the University of Oxford and learn about the study of law. Participants have been selected by their school based on academic merit, enthusiasm for law and interest in studying at Oxford. During the event, participants will take part in a range of legal lectures and discussions, information talks about admissions and studying law at Oxford, and each participant will enjoy lunch and a tour of an Oxford college.

Ambassadors will be responsible for:

  • Set up the registration area + register all attendees.
  • Answer ad hoc questions from students throughout the day
  • Guide students into the Gulbenkian in a timely fashion.
  • Escort participants safely to Oxford colleges for lunch and tour and ensure a safe and timely return to the faculty.

  • Online session: Ambassadors will take part in Q&A breakout sessions.
