The Assistant Programmes Apprentice will play a key role in the administration of undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes, providing information and assistance to staff and students, and contributing to the delivery of a successful student experience.

Working with increasing independence, you will undertake activities relating to:

• Customer Service and Events

The final topic, level and duration of the apprenticeship will be determined by the post holder’s previous study and work attainment and experience.
