International and Postgraduate Recruitment

Our International and Postgraduate Recruitment team (IPRT) co-ordinates University-wide international and postgraduate student recruitment activity; and delivers a programme of global outreach and digital recruitment events to support prospective students and their advisors.

In partnership with colleagues in Schools, Colleges and central services, we lead on a range of activities to attract international and postgraduate applicants, enhance their prospective student experience, and diversify our international student intake.

We do this through: 

  • Attending, planning and delivering recruitment events for a global audience – around the world, on-campus and online, including Open Days and an ever-increasing range of online events,
  • Identifying and supporting opportunities for global access through scholarships and sponsorship,
  • Supporting progression of our own students into postgraduate study
  • Building, maintaining and developing an active network of agents, college counsellors and stakeholders who support the international applicant journey.
  • Informing international applicant and pre-applicant communications.
  • Gathering and sharing insight into International recruitment markets and the Home postgraduate market, including qualifications guidance, market opportunities and demand, and competitor activity.
  • Involving current students in recruitment activities through our growing Student Ambassador scheme.
  • Supporting the sharing of best practice through training and networking events and contributing to external networks and sector groups. 

The team consists of:
