Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

I currently work as a Data Quality Specialist within Student Records at Manchester Metropolitan University. My main responsibilities include checking student records, identifying missing or incorrect information, and updating data accurately. I work with different types of student information, including addresses, contact details, citizenship and other student record information. The role requires attention to detail and careful checking to make sure the information is accurate and up to date.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

es, I have been given a good level of responsibility. After receiving training and guidance, I am trusted to check and update student records independently. I need to work carefully because accuracy is very important when handling student information. At the same time, support is always available whenever I have a question or am unsure about something.
