The University of Nottingham is a pioneering and globally engaged university that provides an exceptional research-led education (TEF Gold), and an outstanding student experience. We are in the top 100 universities worldwide and currently have more than 46,000 students, including 11,500 studying at our international campuses, and more than 9,000 overseas students studying at our UK campuses.
Being a top 100 global university with influence and impact on an international knowledge economy depends on the passion and commitment of all of its leaders, members and champions. University Council, the governing body, has a key role to play in the stewardship of the University helping it to fulfil its mission and ensure ongoing integration with and impact in all the communities that the University is part of locally and globally. The University of Nottingham is now looking to appoint two exceptional individuals, including one with significant financial experience, to appoint as new members of Council to contribute their external skills and insights to the effective stewardship and strategic direction of the University.
The University recognises the benefit of a diverse Council which represents our student body and the global community we serve. We would welcome applications from candidates from backgrounds which are underrepresented on Council. Council members will provide advice, support and expertise to ensure that the University’s activities and management are both effective and efficient, establishing constructive, supportive and, appropriately challenging working relationships with senior staff across the institution. A passion for, a personal interest in and a commitment to higher education is critical as is a commitment to the values, aims and objectives of the University. Council meet five times per year and these positions are not remunerated although reasonable expenses will be paid.
