Students in their 1st year of these Programs are not eligible to take part in the Hawke Ambassador Program. For Double Degree students, the Program is offered as an alternative to the existing Study Abroad semester.

Selection Process

There will be a selection process for the Hawke Ambassador to determine suitability. The criteria will include:
  • Successful completion of the prerequisites listed above.
  • A short interview with the selection panel comprising representatives from the School of International Studies, the Hawke Centre, and UniSA International.
  • Information presented in the online application form, including a 250-500 word statement outlining why you would like to be involved in the Program and the particular country and volunteering project you wish to take part in and also an academic reference.
The Hawke Ambassador Program is a prestigious Program and, as such, there are only a limited number of places available each year.

The Program is not currently available to students studying in a part-time mode or those taking the BA International Studies or the Double Degree Programs externally.
