Higher Education Administration

Advantages: good terms and conditions, secure, learning environment!
Disadvantages: large institutions can be very intransigent

...would I recommend working in Higher Education Administration? Well, in the long term it wasn’t for me. I could however see a lot of people developing excellent careers around me, e.g. in counselling and advice work, so if you can pursue your aims effectively within this kind of institution it might be just what you are looking for – for a few years at least. The employment conditions are excellent, and I was fortunate to make some very ... Read review

Advantages: Business knowledge is the most useful skill to have, relatively easy if you know a bit already
Disadvantages: Theory can be a bit tedious, have to have broad knowledge in many areas of business practices

Advantages: lots of vacancies
Disadvantages: not every university takes part

...If you are looking to secure a job in the higher education sector, then I highly recommend this site. Vacancies range from administrative to IT and research.

Application methods are normally either by email or telephone and are directed to the institution itself, so response rates are good. In addition, you can also be notified of new vacancies on a daily basis by email. Although not every university is an active member of this site, approximately 90% are. In closing, this is the best UK site on the net for these types of jobs.... Read review
