Students from one hundred countries make up a thriving community based on a beautiful parkland campus.
Alongside a strong commitment to engage with the regional agenda, Lancaster has an international outlook, with four strategic partnerships in China, Ghana, Germany and Malaysia. In addition, we have research, teaching and student exchange collaborations with leading universities and institutions in many countries around the world.

The Role
We are looking for an organised, motivated and enthusiastic person to contribute to the achievement of the University’s international strategy by ensuring an efficient and effective engagement with global partners and academic contacts.
