Foreword

At a time of unprecedented change in higher education, and in the wider world, the University of Nottingham is a thriving institution. We offer an outstanding student experience, we deliver world-changing research, and we ensure a global reputation for excellence.

I am delighted to invite applications for the exciting, challenging and rewarding role of Provost, to lead the University of Nottingham Ningbo Campus (UNNC) and to join the board of the University of Nottingham as Pro-Vice-Chancellor.

In 2004, we pioneered the first Sino-foreign university and established UNNC with a vision to be the best international university in China, to transform and enrich people’s lives, and to make a positive difference to the wider community.

15 years later we continue to deliver on these endeavours. We now have 8,000 students and over 700 staff studying, living and working at UNNC and we are developing an excellent reputation for academic quality and standards consistent with University of Nottingham in the UK.  This is the outstanding platform for our next Provost to build upon, with the scale and scope to deliver real impact for the future of the University in both China, the UK and beyond.

An exceptional role for an exceptional individual, and a unique opportunity to strengthen our current relationships, enhance our international reputation and expand our footprint in China. 

I look forward to receiving your application.
