University of Canberra – Director (Future Students)

Thank you for your interest in this role with the University of Canberra.

An appointment has now been made with the following announcement released by the Pro Vice-Chancellor (Future Students).

James Armit will commence with UC as our Director, Future Students. 

James joins us from Victoria University (VU) where he has served as Director, Student Administration.   In this position, he has delivered end-to-end student lifecycle operations to over 35,000 students studying in Australia, with global partners, and online. The recruitment, admission, and onboarding of new students were key areas in that role, and James oversaw significant uplift in student enrolments by improving admission, credit approval, and enrolment user experiences at a time when VU was also implementing transformational change.  James has also previously worked in high-volume, student-focussed roles at RMIT University and University of Bedfordshire in the UK.

Let me also take the opportunity to acknowledge the efforts of Adi Vaddiparthi who will continue leading GSR as Acting Director until James’ commencement.

I know that everyone will join in welcoming James to the UC community when he commences.
