We have the project just for you!

Each Aurora university is looking to recruit a group of its students to help share the objectives of Aurora - will you be your university's student voice?

The Aurora Student Schemes provide opportunities for students from Aurora Network and Alliance universities to engage in a voluntary position, getting involved directly in the work of Aurora and sharing the values of Aurora at their home university.

Find out more about the work of Aurora here.

Students are at the heart of everything we do, so it is important we have student representatives engaged in everything we do. You can be a key part of the work led by the Aurora Student Council and can choose how much you get involved in the Aurora project working groups, working on something that really interests you.

Become an Aurora Student Ambassador

If you have a few hours to spare this year, this is the scheme for you!

You will attend a training session to learn more about Aurora and representing the student body, and the types of activity you could choose to do... such as writing a blog, planning an Aurora event, creating resources and promoting Aurora activity on social media. This could just be a one-off activity or ad hoc hours during the year when it suits you. You will be guided by your university or Aurora Student Council representative, with the opportunity to meet other students on the Schemes during "drop-in" style sessions.

Become and Aurora Student Champion

You want to dedicate between 20-40 hours to developing your graduate skills, working in a professional network, adding evidence of work to your CV and gaining a certificate and reference.

You will attend a training session to learn more about Aurora and representing the student body, and the types of activity you can get involved in... you will be allocated to an Aurora project working group, invited to meet its members and learn about its work, contribute to discussions and help develop ideas and activity outputs. You will keep a log of the hours you work and gather evidence to show what you've achieved. You will be guided by your allocated working group, you will have opportunities to contribute to Aurora-wide events, you will be guided on how to evidence your work and will be paired with other Champions, so you can work together on projects. You will also have the opportunity to meet other students on the Schemes during "drop-in" style sessions.
