In 1975 and for some years previously, individual faculties, particularly the Faculty of Arts, had made arrangements for visiting schools and organising open days and other visits for schools and prospective students. By 1975, the work involved in these events had become substantial and the Faculty of Arts recommended to the Senate that an officer be appointed to undertake this work. Accordingly, on 11 December 1975, a Senate Committee on Introduction to the University was appointed to consider the matter. In 1976, on its recommendations, the Schools Liaison Office was formed. A senior administrative officer was appointed to co-ordinate all schools liaison activities, a panel of academic members, advisers of studies and students was formed to give general talks on university admission and transition from school to university and a Senate Schools Liaison Committee was appointed to be concerned with all schools liaison at faculty level and above and to oversee the work of the panel and the co-ordinator. The Committee comprised the chief advisers of each faculty along with senior academic members. The new office organised open days and other visits to the University, attended careers conventions, organised visits to schools, produced leaflets and videos and organised induction courses.

Following recommendations made by the Schools Liaison Committee in its 1986 annual report to the Senate, each department appointed Visits Liaison Officers to be responsible for making internal arrangements for visits to departments.

In 1993 the Schools Liaison Office changed its name to the Schools and Colleges Liaison Service and the Senate Committee became the Schools and Colleges Liaison Committee. In 1996 or 1997 the Schools and Colleges Liaison Service was renamed the Student Recruitment Office. In 1999, the Student Recruitment Office merged with the Central Admissions Service in the External Relations and Marketing Division to form the Student Recruitment and Admissions Service. The Service acted as the first point of contact for students seeking admissions to undergraduate and postgraduate taught degree programmes and advised teachers, careers services and students on application procedures and on the suitability of qualifications for entry to the University. It also organised attendance at recruitment events in the UK and abroad, managed University student recruitment representatives overseas and arranged open days and visits to the campus. In October 2005, the Student Recruitment and Admissions Service was split into the International and Postgraduate Service and the Recruitment Admissions and Participation Service.
