Admissions Administrator

University of Sheffield

An exciting opportunity has arisen within the University of Sheffield’s Admissions Service as an Admissions Administrator.

In this key role, you will be responsible for processing applications for both undergraduate and postgraduate courses and for providing support to staff in a group of academic schools. This will include assessing applications against agreed entry criteria and communicating application outcomes. You will work closely alongside other members of the admissions team to ensure that admissions procedures are successfully completed and that policies are effectively adhered to.
