The 2025-26 student ambassadors are:
- Alice (Tianjie) Liu, University of Birmingham, China
- Anando Ghosh, University College London, India
- Arya Nur Güneş, Royal Academy of Music, Turkey
- Coco Ren, London Business School, China

Anne Marie Graham, Chief Executive, UKCISA said:
During the application process for this influential leadership programme we heard about the most pressing issues affecting international students – the high cost of living, lack of affordable housing and work opportunities after graduation, all impacting their mental health and experience of studying in the UK.
We are so grateful to these talented individuals for stepping forward to share their personal stories and advocate for a fair and equitable International Education Strategy, that promotes and evaluates the student experience to ensure all international students have a positive time in the UK. We look forward to working with them and welcoming them to the #WeAreInternational Student Ambassador Network.
