About the role
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a motivated and dedicated individual to join a brilliant department that plays a pivotal role in the success of the University and applicant engagement.
The Admissions team provides a vital service to enable the University to meet its student recruitment targets by delivering an excellent customer experience. The Admissions team remit covers UK and international students across the University’s undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
