Our new Division of Teaching, Learning and Student Development within the Directorate for the Student Experience to launch on Wednesday 1, May
The new Division has been formed as a consequence of the merger of the Student Development and Community Engagement Division, the Teaching and Learning Support Office and the Careers Service.

Louise says: “I am delighted to be leading this new Division which brings together a range of colleagues who make a significant contribution to shaping and delivering the University’s strategy for teaching, learning and students. I look forward to continuing to work in partnership with the team, our Students Union, Faculties and Schools to establish the Division and ensure that we help the University achieve its ambitious plans for delivering an outstanding student experience.”
The new Division will have responsibility for:
- Ensuring the high quality of teaching and learning across the University and offering a distinctive provision of interdisciplinary teaching and learning;
- Promoting and managing students’ co-curricular activity, with an emphasis on peer support and volunteering;
- Improving our students’ employability and graduate destinations;
- Enhancing employer and community engagement locally, nationally and internationally;
- Delivering outstanding online and blended learning courses through University of Manchester Worldwide;
- Leading the development and implementation of Stellify across the University.
The Division of Teaching, Learning and Student Development brings together the significant experience of colleagues in a new, simpler, more integrated structure, offering the greatest potential for the University to have a significant impact across many areas of the student experience.
