This includes both prospective and current students, businesses, and our local community. Admissions sits within this directorate together with UKVI compliance, academic progression, timetabling, student information and records. The directorate also has dedicated teams focussing on student data & systems, and information and analysis. The directorate teams work together to plan and deliver key activities that support the University’s ambitions for growth, diversity and an increased profile.
