Deputy Vice-Chancellor

Think you know the role of a Deputy Vice-Chancellor? Think again.

At Buckinghamshire New University, we're not looking for the usual.

We don’t want someone to maintain the status quo. We want someone who will redefine it for the better, proudly setting a new model for inclusive education for our university and the sector.

We are a university on the move, unafraid to disrupt, adapt, and challenge the expectations of what Higher Education can be. Our next Deputy Vice-Chancellor needs to match our ambition—and then some. This isn’t a role for someone content with small tweaks; this is a role for someone ready to be at the vanguard of transformational change.  

Do you have the audacity to innovate?

Can you empower a diverse community of students and colleagues to reach new heights?

Are you bold enough to redefine success in higher education?

This is your opportunity to shape the future of an institution that refuses to stand still. We’re looking for visionary leadership, groundbreaking ideas, and a commitment to delivering real-world impact and inclusive education.

No safe bets. No settling for "good enough." If you’re driven by purpose, authenticity, passion, and the thrill of pushing boundaries, then you are our next Deputy Vice-Chancellor.

Being You at BNU. Let’s build the future together.

Our search process, just like our institution and this very special role, breaks the mould. We invite you to create and shape your own job description around the key objectives set out, and our appointment process will invite you to experience a brand new type of selection process, details of which our executive search partners, Alumni Global, will be delighted to discuss with you further.
