Queen Mary University of London Malta Campus:
In addition to the home campuses in London, Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) now also operates from its own state of the art, custom-built, campus in Gozo, Malta. In 2017, QMUL and the Barts School of Medicine and Dentistry launched a 5-year Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) programme from Malta. Up to 60 students a year will be accepted onto this 5-year programme, with the fifth annual intake joining us later this year. QMUL Malta has experienced a period of rapid growth in the last 18 months, and we are now seeking to fill the role of a Business Support Administrator. This is an exciting time to join QMUL Malta: we moved into our flagship campus building in October 2019, and now have unrivalled facilities for staff and students alike. Our campus is located on the grounds of Gozo General Hospital, in the centre of Victoria, the capital of Gozo. In addition to the annual intake of MBBS students, QMUL is working towards offering a number of other clinical courses, taught Masters, summer school programmes, stakeholder engagement activities, business development activities, and community engagement projects. Staff members at QMUL Malta are primarily employed on QMUL Malta Ltd. This role forms part of an expanding team, and as a result the duties and responsibilities of QMUL Malta posts will necessarily cover a greater breadth and variety than similar roles in QMUL London or in other universities. Applicants therefore need to be able to demonstrate considerable flexibility, drive, and sensitivity to strategic priorities. The role will be based at QMUL Malta, with regular ongoing contact between relevant teams and stakeholders in both Malta and in the UK, as well as occasional travel between Malta and London.
