The role of a Campus Buddy involves supporting the basic social aspects of being a new student at the University, including for example:

  • showing a student around campus
  • showing a student where specific facilities are and how to use them, such as the laundrette or the library
  • helping a student in a social situation such as the Freshers’ Fair, at a club or society
  • showing a student where the local supermarkets are.

To volunteer you must have completed at least one semester of study at Bath, either undergraduate or postgraduate.

If you're interested in applying, please email disability-supportworkers@bath.ac.uk (with Campus Buddy in the Subject line). You can also email if you would like any more information.

Short informal interviews will be held through March, and training will be provided.
