Meet our ambassadors
The Study NT Student Ambassador Program has been running since 2016, recognising the outstanding international and domestic students studying in Australia’s Northern Territory.
During their year-long appointment, ambassadors undertake:
- professional development
- attend networking events with other students, Territory employers and international delegations
- receive valuable volunteering and work experience, and
- get opportunities beyond the classroom.
