The Off Campus Division of the University of Greater Manchester manages the partnership work of our growing University. As the University rises in the UK HE rankings, the Off Campus Division makes sure that students who study UGM qualifications at one of our valued UK or International partner institutions receive an equivalent quality of educational experience. Our success in developing quality-driven partnerships means that we are expanding, bringing in new team members to support our increasing range of activities.

You will be enthused by the idea of a dynamic work environment and be excited by the challenges of diversity and finding common ground. You will be super-organised, hard-working, digitally literate with great communication skills, ready to roll up your sleeves to tackle tasks.

Our Partnership Coordinator team is the foundation of our partnership management work. UK or international travel may form part of your workload and we may need flexibility from you – this is not a strict 9-5 job, but we can promise that no two days are the same and the team that you will be part of will be working with you to develop you and the Division.
