Student Enquiries Officer

The King’s community is dedicated to the service of society. King’s Strategic Vision 2029 sets out our vision for the future, shaped around five priority areas: educate to inspire and improve; research to inform and innovate; serve to shape and transform; a civic university at the heart of London; and an international community that services the world. Our ambitious Education Strategy sets out the actions that we must take to transform how we teach, how and where our students learn and how we support them during their time with us.

 

The Student Knowledge & Information department brings together colleagues who are focussed on helping students to get the information they need quickly and easily and also to engage with their programme and university life more broadly, through management of inbound enquiries and service requests, static and dynamic digital content, and outbound communications. Our remit covers all King’s students, from enrolment to graduation.

 

Student Knowledge & Information is part of the Students & Education Directorate, a collection of wide-ranging professional services in place to support King’s students and their education. As a directorate we manage the student lifecycle from application to graduation, to ensure a coherent and seamless student experience and effective administrative processes, working closely with King’s faculties to do so.

 

Student Enquiries Officers handle enquiries from students, alumni and third parties via various enquiry channels including in person, online and by phone. They are responsible for providing excellent customer service and handling often complex enquiries using our Customer Relationship Management software (CRM), Microsoft Dynamics. Supported by a comprehensive knowledge bank (Student Services Online), the team work collaboratively with colleagues from across the university to provide an excellent student experience.
