We are seeking an experienced administrator to join our Academic Registry team to provide administrative and customer service support to a portfolio of courses.

Academic Registry’s work covers a variety of key services across UAL’s six colleges to support students and academic teams. We are seeking to recruit talented individuals to join us within our college-based Programme Administration team.

As a Programme Administrator you’re at your happiest when you’re juggling priorities and making things happen. As one of our Academic Registry team, you will put all of this to good use as you provide professional administrative support to our courses. 

The roles are busy and varied and include everything from collating course-related documentation to committee servicing, coordinating and supporting External Examiners, recording student work submissions, attendance monitoring, organising seminars and workshops, and supporting enrolment. 

Your profile

We value the diversity of experience our staff bring with them.

Successful candidates will also be confident in the use of Microsoft applications. If you meet these requirements, the opportunities open to you at UAL are hard to beat.
