The University of Strathclyde is pursuing a number of strategies to enhance and develop its local and international reputation. Attracting the best students from the UK and from overseas is a key element of this strategy as is the development of long term partnerships with overseas partners and agents. In particular, the University has direct links with Higher Education institutions in China. 

The Marketing and Communications Team is tasked with marketing and recruitment to generate leads as well as the selection and conversion of applicants. To underpin this work the Team have the objective to further the global brand and reputation of the Faculty and individual Schools. 

Support in particular is required for Chinese students during the application process and once they begin their studies. The postholder will be required to be fluent in both spoken and written Mandarin. They will be expected to receive and respond to enquiries, update databases and produce regular reports regarding applicant admission and student progress.

• Support the work of the Strathclyde China Institute by receiving and responding to enquiries from partner institutions, applicants and students, appropriately redirecting more complex enquiries and problems.

• Regularly meet with the Director and Deputy Director of SCI when they are on campus. 

• Process both PGT and Chinese applications to ensure they are fully completed and forwarding to decision makers when appropriate. 

• Operate a scheduled drop-in and if necessary an appointment system for Chinese students to provide support during their studies.
