Admissions Manager

The University of Wales Trinity Saint David (UWTSD) traces its heritage back to the first university in Wales, receiving its Royal Charter in 1828 and is honoured to have His Majesty King Charles III as Royal Patron.

UWTSD now teaches over 16,000 students across its six campuses in the UK; four in Wales and two in England. It has long-standing international educational partnerships in Europe, China, Malaysia, the USA and elsewhere. 

Our aim is to transform education, and by doing so transform the lives of the individuals and the communities we serve. We are already recognised for providing an outstanding student experience:

• 1st in Wales and joint 3rd in the UK for Student Satisfaction (Times Higher Education, July 2024)
• 1st in Wales for 7 subjects and Top 10 in the UK for 3 subjects (Guardian University League Table 2024)

Our success is due to the commitment, skill, knowledge, and ability of our people working together. We are now building on this strong culture and provision to become a leading provider of accessible higher education.

THE ROLE

The Admissions Manager will be responsible for leading a team to deliver a highly efficient, customer-focussed, centralised admissions process. The focus will be specifically on UK applicants to the University’s undergraduate and postgraduate taught courses delivered at its Welsh campuses.

The postholder will ensure that all applicants receive a timely, helpful and engaging experience from the point of application through to enrolment. They will support prospective students in their decision-making to choose the UWTSD course that best meets their needs.

Working collaboratively with colleagues from across academic and professional services departments, the Admissions Manager will review and develop processes to ensure fairness and compliance, whilst also maximising student recruitment. 

The Admissions Manager’s primary location will be in either Carmarthen or Swansea. However, the postholder may also be required to visit other UWTSD campuses to provide advice and guidance to colleagues.
