Student Influencers
Are you passionate about creating content and sharing your experience?
We are recruiting for our University of Northampton Student Influencer scheme so we can share authentic student experiences at UON through creating trending TikToks and Instagram Reels or writing blog posts. This is your chance to get creative, connect with our online audiences, and build your personal brand along the way!
Why become a student influencer?
Becoming a student influencer is your chance to share your UON experience, get creative, and make your voice heard. You’ll work with our Marketing and Student Recruitment Team to create authentic content that inspires future students, while building skills, meeting new people, and growing your personal brand. It’s a fun, rewarding way to make a real impact and boost your CV.
Hear from our students
“Being a student influencer gave me a deeper connection to the UON community, helping me to feel more integrated by meeting other students from diverse backgrounds and courses and allowed me to represent the student voice in a meaningful way..”
Alex —
“Being an influencer developed my confidence with not only my writing but in terms of socialising with strangers has allowed me to learn valuable life skills. Furthermore, seeing different experiences through first-hand accounts of fellow peers has allowed me to feel more connected and understood within the University..”
Faith —
“Becoming a student influencer has really helped me because it’s a small part time job that gives me a little extra money. But also it is something I can do easily from everywhere. Whether it’s a vlog about my day at University or a blog about student life. This job has helped me build not only my social media knowledge but has also pushed me to try new things.”

Not sure what to expect?
We’ll give you the topics — or you can pitch your own. You’ll create content throughout the year and be paid for your time. But that’s not all as we could ask you to join photoshoots, and get stuck into other fun promotional activities with our Team.
