12 Registry overview

12.1 The Department has experienced unusually high levels of staff turnover during 2007-08. Opportunities have been taken to revised some structures and job functions with a view to service improvement, including the creation of an integrated Recruitment and Admissions division covering, admissions, home/EU, international and widening participation recruitment work. Each of these sections is led by a subject specialist. The overall aim is to improve connectively across the range of the department’s recruitment activity aligned with a programme of work to professionalise admissions processes, including postgraduate admissions, and to response to changes in the national agenda.

This will complement and support the university’s plan to provide a more focused approach to the recruitment and admissions agenda led by a new Recruitment and Admissions Committee under the chairmanship of the Pro Vice Chancellor Academic Affairs.

The Department also led the university’s successful QAA Institutional Audit visit which took place during May 2008 and will oversee a programme of work in 2008-09 to ensure that matters raised by the auditors are considered and reported on as required.
