Three Faculty Spoke Teams were introduced in February 2023 and are in a ‘proof-of-concept’ period. The teams are part of MRAO (Marketing, Recruitment, Admissions and Outreach). MRAO is part of External Relations*.

Broadly, the Spoke Teams objectives are to:

Strengthen the links between central teams and Faculties/Departments/Schools and facilitate more joined-up support for academic departments
Support the institution in being more strategic in terms of number planning, in-cycle monitoring and portfolio development
Enhance subject-level marketing and recruitment activity
Be more effective and efficient in attracting, retaining and converting students throughout the whole of the applicant student journey, from initial awareness to the point of enrolment
Ultimately, help Faculties meet their student number targets

We work very closely with Faculties/Departments/Schools and PSS colleagues to meet these aims.

*External Relations comprises:

MRAO
International Recruitment, Mobility and Partnerships
The Communications Team
The Office for Philanthropy and Partnerships (OPPA)
