Role & Department Overview

Ever wondered how the students in the photos and videos on our website, prospectus and other marketing materials got featured?

Now is your opportunity to represent Lancaster and see yourself in future marketing materials.

Photoshoot participants are essentially models, but you don’t need any prior modelling experience to apply. So, your day may look like this – you'll be asked to report to a certain location on campus, you’ll meet other students who are also participating, and you’ll be directed by a friendly photographer to try various scenarios e.g. walking in front of the camera, talking in a group.

We are committed to ensuring our marketing materials are representative of our student community, while also encouraging greater diversity in our student population in all faculties. Therefore, we encourage applications from all students. To apply, please tell us why you think you would be a good model for representing your department or the University (maximum 300 words). Also, provide details of any accessibility requirements (mobility, disability or cultural) that would benefit you on the day of the photoshoot.

You will be asked to work one 4-hour shift on one day between Tuesday 21 April and Thursday 23 April.
