Admissions Officer

Description:

The Graduate Admissions team is responsible for all admissions to UCL’s graduate taught, research and affiliate programmes. It handles approximately 97,000 applications per cycle and is responsible for admitting approximately 18,500 students in each academic year. The Admissions function is critical in ensuring that UCL secures the desired number of students to meet UCL’s aspirations in terms of securing and maintaining a well-qualified, balanced student body and associated tuition fee income.

About the role

We are seeking to recruit two Admissions Officers on a maternity cover basis to work in our centralised graduate admissions team where they will be actively engaged in key aspects of graduate admissions administration, principally for applications received directly to UCL. The postholders will undertake all aspects of application processing, including assessing and making selection decisions on applications against agreed criteria. They will also be responsible for responding to queries from applicants and work colleagues, in addition to preparing documentation to support applicants applying for a visa through the Home Office points based immigration system.

One post will be available from 10 December 2024 until 20 August 2025 and the other from 7 January 2025 until 6 October 2025. The posts will be available until the end dates stated or the return of the respective substantive postholder, whichever is the earlier.

About you

The successful candidates must have experience of admissions in a higher education setting and will have excellent organisational skills, together with the ability to prioritise and work under pressure. The nature of the role requires individuals with good interpersonal skills, who are able to work successfully in a team.
