The Post
The University of Stirling is seeking an outstanding candidate to provide strategic leadership for all areas of undergraduate and postgraduate recruitment and admissions, in this newly created Director of Student Recruitment and Admissions role.
This is an exciting time to join the University as we’ve just begun the process of developing a new Strategic Plan. Building on the success of the current plan, during which there has been significant investment in the Recruitment and Admissions teams – reflecting sustained growth in student applications and outstanding success in unregulated student recruitment numbers— the new Director will play an integral role in helping to shape and deliver the student recruitment and admissions strategy aligned with the objectives of the new plan.
For this role, you’ll need to be an experienced, strategic, recruitment and admissions expert, well-networked within the sector and with demonstrable success in UK, European and International student recruitment. The post-holder will be commercially astute, innovative, highly motivated and goal orientated, with excellent leadership and communication skills, and a track record of leading and motivating high performing teams.
Founded by Royal Charter in 1967, the University of Stirling was the first new university in Scotland for more than 400 years and our stunning 330-acre campus is regularly cited as one of the most beautiful anywhere in the world. Since our foundation, we have embraced our role as an innovative, intellectual, and cultural institution with a pioneering spirit and a passion for excellence.
Our vision is to be recognised across the globe as a University that makes a difference, by addressing the needs of society through innovative, interdisciplinary research; delivering learning and teaching of the highest quality; and by sharing our knowledge with the world. Stirling is a place where everyone is treated with respect and where ability – not background – is valued.
With over 17,000 students drawn from 140 nationalities, we have a thriving, international student community. Classed among the top 30 in the UK for overall student satisfaction (National Student Survey) and top 20 in the UK for postgraduate teaching (Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey), we are proud to be a QS five-star rated university for teaching, employability, research, internationalisation, facilities and inclusiveness (QS Stars University Ratings).
