If anything changes during the course of your time as an Ambassador - perhaps you've transferred to a different course or program, would like to make edits to the name displayed on your profile, or have joined a new society - you'll likely want to update this on your Unibuddy profile.

Keeping your details up to date means that prospects are seeing the most accurate reflection of you - leading to richer conversations.

At the moment, you can make edits to your profile details in the Ambassador Dashboard. Our Product and Technology team are busy making updates so that soon, you'll also be able to edit your profile information in the Unibuddy Ambassador app.


If you'd like to make any changes, just follow the simple steps below.

  1. Login to your Ambassador Dashboard.

  2. Click your profile photo thumbnail or icon in the top right hand corner.

  3. Click Profile, then select Edit Profile.

  4. Make any necessary edits, then click Save.


Mandatory Fields

All mandatory fields must be filled in, in order for you to save your changes. Mandatory fields are things like the course you're studying, where you're from, languages spoken, and anything else your institution has designated as a compulsory field.

Why mandatory fields? When a prospect visits your institution's Unibuddy Chat platform, they'll be able to filter Ambassadors to chat with based on these fields. This gives them a more personalised experience.


What if I can't find my Area of Study?

If you can't see your Area of Study, year of study, or any other details from their dropdown lists as you edit your profile, please reach out to your University Admin.

They will be able to add, edit , or update courses/programs, years and levels of study, and any other details.


❓ Please note: It is not possible to change your email address. Your email is your unique account identifier.

If you wish to change your email address, you will need to request to have your account deleted. (This will remove all chats and messages associated with this account). Your institution can then invite you to create a Unibuddy Ambassador account at the email address you'd like to switch to.


Student Profile Preview

Staff Profile Preview

The Staff Ambassador profile preview is much more simple. For staff, the emphasis is on your Department, Role, and Role Description.

We don't ask Staff Ambassadors to fill in details on hobbies and qualifications, although you're welcome to mention relevant interests in your Role Description!
