Recruitment Liaison and Student Advisors

We provide a link between the University and schools and colleges across the UK. We are split into two teams - Recruitment Liaison and Student Advisors. Read more about the services we provide to teachers and advisors >>

Both teams regularly visit schools and colleges within Staffordshire, the West Midlands and surrounding areas to support students with the transition from further education to higher education. To assist in this, current students sometimes accompany the teams and share their experiences of university life. We also attend a number of higher education conventions up and down the country which are part of the UCAS calendar of events.

The Recruitment Liaison Team exists to help prospective students, parents, teachers and careers advisers looking for information on all aspects of Staffordshire University, and higher education in general. Our aim is to give applicants and their advisers the chance to make an informed choice about their higher education options.

The Recruitment Liaison Office at Staffordshire University can offer a range of support and activities for Students, Teachers and Careers Advisers, including:

• Information, Advice & Guidance
• Open Days
• Visits to the University
• Talks/Presentations/Workshops in Schools and Colleges
• Events for Teachers/Careers Advisers
• Staffordshire HE Convention

The Student Advisor Team are all recent graduates with an enthusiasm for promoting the benefits of higher education, dispelling myths and giving support where needed.

The Student Advisor team aims to:  

• Challenge barriers into Higher Education 
• Promote higher education from a personal viewpoint through their own personal experiences – they asked all the questions your students want to ask! 
• Provide long-term, intensive contact with students on a 1:1 ratio, helping students who are unsure about their next steps, addressing individual worries and needs
• Encourage progression to higher education through the delivery of fun and exciting innovative workshops and materials – workshops such as Big Brother Student House, Deal or No Deal, Dragons Den
• Work with and develop links with schools and colleges locally
