This includes areas such as enterprise systems, business and data analytics, digital transformation, emerging technologies, database management, project delivery and applied research.
Working closely with the Head of School, academic colleagues and our university partner, you will monitor student performance, address delivery risks and ensure the programme continues to meet institutional, regulatory and professional body requirements.

- Lead programme-level assessment, moderation, marking standardisation and academic integrity processes.
- Oversee the allocation, supervision and academic quality of postgraduate dissertations and applied research projects.
- Support students with complex academic matters, including progression concerns, reassessment, academic conduct and dissertation planning.
- Use student feedback, module evaluation, assessment outcomes and performance data to develop and maintain a clear programme improvement plan.
- Prepare programme reports, action plans and supporting evidence for academic boards, university partner meetings, validation, review and external scrutiny.
- Ensure teaching, assessment and programme documentation meet university regulations, internal quality standards and relevant BCS accreditation requirements.
- Support and develop lecturers through regular communication, peer observation, feedback, mentoring and the sharing of effective teaching practice.
- Build links with employers and technology professionals to strengthen live projects, guest lectures, employability activity and the commercial relevance of the curriculum.
- Contribute to programme recruitment, applicant events, induction, curriculum development and wider academic activity across the School of Computing & IT.
