Sam Burnell

I joined NDORMS in October 2015, initially as the Graduate Studies Officer, having previously worked as a Graduate School Assistant in the Medical Sciences Divisional Office.

As the Graduate Studies Manager, I am the head of the Education Team and the administrative lead for all postgraduate student matters; from student applications and admissions, to on-course progression, to follow-up and alumni relations.

I work closely with senior academic leadership in education; working alongside the Directors of Graduate Studies in both the Botnar Research Centre and the Kennedy Institute, as well as other colleagues across the department who are involved in student matters. I oversee the administration of the Graduate Studies Committees (GSCs) in each research institute, and the departmental Education, Policy and Standards Committee (EPSC). I am a member of the department's Senior Management Team (SMT).

I am also regularly involved with the development and implementation of student policy and processes, both within the department and across the Medical Sciences Division.
