Our Undergraduate Recruitment team co-ordinates University-wide recruitment activity and undertakes outreach throughout the UK to support prospective students and their advisors

These include a targeted programme of recruitment and conversion events throughout the UK, including events for teachers and advisers, as well as the three annual undergraduate Open Days for the University.

We also work with colleagues across the University to develop high quality information, advice and guidance; to support good practice in recruitment and admissions; and to involve current students in recruitment activities through our growing Student Ambassador scheme.
