How do I find out what the current vacancies are? 

Our current vacancies can be found on this site. 

As soon as the closing date for a vacancy has passed it will no longer be available and applications will no longer be accepted. The closing date is displayed alongside all vacancies so please ensure you are aware of this for any vacancies you wish to apply for.

How to apply

We only accept applications made via our online vacancy system.

To make an online application you will need to register to access the secure part of this site. To register you need to provide some personal details which will go some way to completing the first stage of the application process. You will be able to change this information later in the application process if required.

Once registered you will have access to the secure application process, which consists of eight steps in which we will ask you for the information required for your chosen vacancy. You will need to complete each step fully before you can submit your application for consideration. Please note, your information is only available to us once you have submitted the application in the final step.

You do not need to complete the whole application process in one go and you may complete the rest of the application at another time. As you proceed through each step your details are saved. To complete an application, or to submit subsequent applications, simply login using your email address and the password you created when you registered.

What happens when you submit your application?

You will receive an automatic email confirming receipt.

When will you know the decision of your application?

You should hear from us within four weeks of the closing date if you have been shortlisted, otherwise you should assume that you have been unsuccessful.

Do you sponsor applicants?

Universities UK does not issue certificates of sponsorship for overseas applicants.
