Student Volunteers
Current Swansea University students can register with the Swansea University HEAR awards to recognise their volunteering with us.
For a bronze award a volunteer must complete criteria for one role, for silver criteria for two roles, and for gold criteria for three roles. At the end of your time at Swansea University, the awards will be added to your final degree transcript.
Volunteer roles are listed on this page. Volunteers can fulfil more than one role, e.g. they can be both a Gallery Assistant and an Educational Assistant. Some roles however are progressive, for example, to become an Educational Leader you must first become an Educational Assistant.
All volunteer roles must actively support the museum’s mission in the interpretation and care of Egyptian archaeological material and related documentation for the education and entertainment of the public. They will do this by actively practising the three core roles of the museum in any role they undertake:
Preservation of the collection
Education
Widening participation.
