Norwich University of the Arts
Norwich University of the Arts are looking for a Senior Lecturer to lead the development and delivery of our innovative Level 5 Diploma in Creative Professional Development. The diploma is an optional additional year, between years 2 and 3 within our undergraduate courses. It has been designed to meet the needs of students with limited work experience and those who want to think more broadly about their career options.
The role involves working closely with the Associate Director, Communication Design, Business and Psychology, and with our Business and Employability team. The main aspect of the role is to lead the design, delivery and assessment of the diploma. There will also be opportunities to contribute to the design and delivery of taught sessions in entrepreneurship and enterprise across the university. The role requires the ability to build strong links across the academic programmes and the employability team.
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.
