Hey everyone! My name is Ryan and I’m from Singapore. I’m currently in Foundation studies and I’ll pursue my Bachelor’s in Aviation later in the year. I enjoy being outdoors and visiting new places and there’s no better place to adventure than in Australia! Prior to moving to Melbourne, I served in the Military for over 10 years and making this big change was one of the scariest things I’ve had to overcome. If you feel scared about big changes feel free to contact me and we can share experiences together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your Ambassadorship will last for one semester. This may be February - June or July - December. If you want to continue for more than one semester you’re most welcome to apply again.
We generally recruit around 6-10 Ambassadors each semester.
Ambassadors help plan, organise and delivery activities and events for all students at RMIT UP. For example, you might help us plan a calendar of activities for a month, cook sausages on a BBQ, or help plan a student party.
They also help bridge the gap between the Student Experience team and the greater student body by promoting activities to students. This might be on social media or through informal chats in class.
You will learn new skills, for example, video editing, make new friends (Ambassadors often find their besties in the program), become more confident and a better leader, get the feel-good vibes that come with volunteering, and above all, you’ll have fun! You’ll also get free or discounted entry to activities and some free merch!
