Pro Vice-Chancellor Student Experience and Education

The University of East Anglia was built to embody a radical new vision for higher education, where interdisciplinarity is valued, and excellence in both research and teaching is crucial. Since 1963, we have been breaking down boundaries between students and researchers, arts and science, business and social responsibility. Today, we are consistently ranked within the top quarter of universities in the UK for the quality of teaching and research and are tackling some of the key challenges of the changing world and breaking new boundaries across our priority research themes of climate, creative and health.

During what has been a challenging period for UK Higher Education, we have moved forward with purpose and are ahead of the issues.  We have launched the University’s ambitious Strategy 2030, setting out how we are going to “think boldly, do things differently and lead the way”. Joining UEA at this time offers a unique opportunity to play a pivotal role in the transformation of the University and to help set our future direction and ensure our prosperity and success.

As the University continues to innovate in pursuit of excellence, we are now seeking an exceptional Pro-Vice-Chancellor Student Experience and Education to deliver on the University’s ambitions and Strategy 2030. Reporting to the Vice-Chancellor, and a member of the University’s Senior Management Team, they will play a critical role in the overall leadership of UEA and will provide oversight and direction for the University’s student experience and education portfolio. Building on a strong platform, the incoming Pro Vice-Chancellor will deliver our Student Experience and Education Strategy and work seamlessly with staff and students to continue to foster an inclusive and supportive culture of high achievement and continuous improvement.

The Pro Vice-Chancellor Student Experience and Education will be an inspiring and inclusive leader with sustained academic leadership experience gained at a strategic level who can engage and elevate staff. With a proven outstanding track record of delivering student experience and educational excellence, they will help us to think and deliver our education portfolio in innovative and exciting ways; reimagining the student journey using methods and approaches that are future-facing and responsive to the student voice.

If you have the right experience, skills and track record of success and share our passion and ambition, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Closing date: Monday 28^th April 2025
