Welcome

The University of Kent is a leading UK university, combining world class teaching and outstanding support with research that makes a meaningful difference to society.

Ranked 40^th in the UK in the latest Sunday Times University rankings, Kent strives to be an institution that empowers students from a wide range of backgrounds to find and shape their place in the world. Through ambitious changes in the years ahead, we want to put students at the heart of everything we do – with courses that inspire and meet what employers are looking for, an approach that enables everyone in our community to thrive and an environment where students are driven and challenged by academics at the top of their field. 

We are looking for a transformational leader who can build on 60 years of outstanding research and education delivery. A natural communicator with an excellent understanding of the acute challenges facing Higher Education today, you will combine a clear strategic vision with the ability to inspire and bring people together around their common goals.

Canterbury, our historic base, has been a hub of learning for centuries, while our work in Medway is at the heart of the region’s cultural redevelopment. We are proudly international in outlook, with a new University of Kent International College supporting students from around the world to come to Kent and growing partnerships across the globe. Across our community we build relationships, connections and partnerships that ensure our skills and expertise help shape a better future. This is an enormous opportunity for the right candidate.
