Director of the Student Administrative Services
Andrew Higgins
Welcome to Student Administrative Services.
Andrew Higgins leads the Student Administrative Service which comprises the teams set out below. The Student Administrative Service delivers academic services to students at all levels of study from the point of enrolment to graduation. It contributes to securing the quality and standards of academic courses of study and the appropriate deployment of space on campus to support the student experience.
As Head of Department, Andrew is responsible for:
(a) Directing and managing major University academic administrative functions through the operational teams within the Academic Office. Whilst operational management of these administrative functions is delegated to Senior/Assistant Registrars, the Director’s role is to maintain a strategic overview of these areas and facilitate the development of ‘joined-up’ student administration capable of meeting current and future needs according to the University’s strategic objectives and to ensure external and statutory requirements are met.
(b) Leading the formulation of University policy relating to student academic services.
(c) Playing a lead role in evaluating and forecasting future IT needs and leading the implementation of solutions.
(d) Working with academic colleagues, other administrative service providers and key stakeholders to deliver excellence in student administration.
(e) Contributing to the development of policy across a broad range of functions in the Academic Registrar’s Office as a member of the Academic Registrar’s Office Directorate.
