The Admissions Transformation Programme

The Admissions Transformation Programme (ATP) was initiated a couple of years ago under ¹û¶³Ó°Ôºâ€™s Strategic Plan (Enabling priorities, Student Experience), with the aim of improving our admissions service to deliver an outstanding and world-leading experience for students and staff.ÌýÌý

Under this programme of work, all aspects of admissions, including our policies, processes, ways of working and systems were examined. As a result, a new admissions enquiries system was implemented, updates were made to admissions policies, and staff in admissions received process improvement training.

This year we will be replacing our Student Admissions system, which manages over 160,000 applications annually. The new system is currently under development, with early testing underway.

Town Hall meetings

We will be holding twoÌýstaff Town Halls to provide an update on ATP, including implementation timelines for the new system and a preview of the new system.

The Town Halls are for all staff in faculties and departments who are involved in the Student Admissions process. They have been scheduled on the following dates:

• Tuesday 30ÌýApril 2024 from 12:30 until 13:30
• Friday 3ÌýMay 2024 from 14:00 until 15:00

If you are not able to join us,Ìýthe event will be recorded and the recording uploaded to our SharePoint.
