Global Recruitment Manager – Manesh Madhu
As an International Recruitment Manager with a decade of experience in higher education, I bring a wealth of expertise and a passion for creating and fostering global connections. One of the most rewarding aspects of my role is the opportunity to engage with students from various cultural backgrounds to talk to them about the University of Gloucestershire. Having studied abroad myself, I am also able to share my experiences with prospective students and their families and how UOG can support them whilst they are here.
For more information on how to apply to University of Gloucestershire from this region, feel free to contact Manesh via email.
