Today, we are one of the world's top 100 universities and ranked 13^th in the world in the Times Higher Education (THE) World Impact Rankings 2023, demonstrating that we are not only one of the best universities in the United Kingdom, but one of the best universities for the world.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Graduate School Manager to join the College of Arts & Humanities on a permanent basis. In partnership with other cognate roles in Student Services, the Graduate School Manager will lead the College of Arts & Humanities Graduate School.

The Graduate School will also work closely with other university services and units, providing advice and guidance for supervisors and other relevant colleagues.

The post holder will be responsible for overseeing a comprehensive support service for Postgraduate Research (PGR) students; liaise with and advise academic teams in the Academic Schools and manage and critically review the policies and procedures governing the PGR student journey. Informed by the Arts & Humanities Strategy 2023-2028, the role will collaborate with other Student Services Managers to define, implement and deliver an excellent service to PGR students and academic supervisory teams.
