The role holder will be part of the Postgraduate Office team which supports all aspects of postgraduate education for the two Mathematics Departments.

Part III is a world-famous postgraduate course which is taught primarily through an unparalleled number of lecture courses (~80) spanning all aspects of mathematics and theoretical physics. Students who are undergraduates at Cambridge may progress to Part III to work towards their MMath degree, additionally the Faculty admits postgraduate students from outside Cambridge onto the MASt programme. There is a total cohort of ~290 students on this programme each year. 

The Part III Co-ordinator will provide effective support for the maintenance and development of the Part III programme and will work in conjunction with the Director and Associate Director of Taught Postgraduate Education (DTPE + ADTPE) and supports Committee Chairs as required. The role holder will be responsible for the accurate and effective management of applicants and current students' data, ensuring that records are maintained consistently, securely and readily available to support operational and academic decision-making.

Administration of the Part III programme currently sits across two teams within the Faculty's shared services, the Postgraduate Office and Undergraduate Office.
