The Role
Based in the School of Pharmacy office within the Faculty of Medical Sciences, you will provide comprehensive administrative support to ensure the smooth and effective running of the School’s programmes, with a primary focus on the highly competitive Master of Pharmacy (with Honours) programme.
The role supports all aspects of student administration across the full student lifecycle—from application and admission through progression to completion—ensuring that School, Faculty and University policies, deadlines and quality standards are met.
While contributing to broader School activities, the role will focus primarily on Master of Pharmacy (MPharm) admissions and recruitment, working closely with academic colleagues and central services to deliver an efficient, applicant-focused admissions process.
You should have excellent organisational and interpersonal skills, demonstrate high levels of accuracy and attention to detail, and be able to work both independently and as part of a team. The ability to prioritise workload, maintain confidentiality, and communicate with tact and professionalism is essential, alongside strong IT skills including Microsoft Office.
