We seek to recruit a Graduation & Certification Officer to the Assessment Service within the Academic Registry. The Service provides a challenging environment for self-motivated individuals seeking to further develop their professional careers. You will be responsible for the planning, management and co-ordination of the student side of ARU’s graduation ceremonies, the management of our conferment records and the secure provision of certification to our graduates.
