Nottingham Trent University is seeking an outstanding academic leader to shape the future of its education and student experience agenda.
The Pro Vice-Chancellor will provide clear strategic leadership for education across the University, ensuring that NTU continues to deliver academically rigorous, inclusive and future-focused courses that support student success. Reporting to the Vice-Chancellor and President and working as a member of the University Executive Team, the role will lead the development and delivery of NTU’s education strategy, including learning, teaching and assessment, academic quality, student outcomes, digital learning, portfolio development, employability, student voice and the wider student experience.
The successful candidate will bring a deep understanding of educational excellence, academic quality, pedagogy, student outcomes and the regulatory environment. Experience of leading major change in a complex institution will be essential, alongside the ability to work across academic and professional services teams, use data and insight to drive improvement, build trusted relationships with students and colleagues and represent NTU with credibility across the sector.
NTU offers a powerful platform for this work. With TEF Gold status, sustained strength in the National Student Survey and the forthcoming implementation of a new institutional five-year strategy, the University is building from a position of real confidence. Over the past fifteen years, NTU has invested more than £450 million across its campuses, creating sector-leading facilities that support innovative teaching, research, enterprise and industry collaboration. Its five distinct locations in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire and London provide a rich and varied environment for students and staff, spanning everything from digital arts, business and law to science, technology, agriculture, design and the built environment.
This is an opportunity to join a University with a distinctive culture, strong momentum and a clear sense of purpose. Guided by values that emphasise changing lives, being bold and doing the right thing, NTU is looking for a PVC who can bring visible, collaborative and inclusive leadership to a broad and influential portfolio, keeping students at the heart of the University’s ambitions and ensuring every student has the opportunity to succeed.
