Education and Programme Manager
The Education and Programme Manager is responsible for the effective management, coordination and administration of Serendipity's education portfolio, with primary responsibility for the operational and academic administration of the MA Black British Dance and Performance: Impact, Voice and Gaze.
The postholder will manage the administrative student journey from initial enquiry and recruitment through admissions, enrolment, programme delivery, assessment, progression and completion.
A core responsibility of the post is the effective administration of the academic and digital learning systems required for the MA, including Moodle and associated student record, assessment and learning platforms. The postholder will ensure that programme information, teaching materials, assessment information, student communications and relevant academic documentation are accurate, current and available when required.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
