President's office

The President and Vice-Chancellor is the chief executive officer of the University under the delegated authority of the Board of Governors. The President and Vice-Chancellor is responsible for the effective and efficient management of the University, for the conduct of its business generally and the achievement of institutional objectives.

The Office of the President and Vice-Chancellor provides administrative support for the President and Vice-Chancellor which includes the management of his diary and support for the effective running of the University Executive. Administrative support for the Chancellor and the Chair of the Board of Governors is also provided by the Office.

The External Relations Events Team are part of the office. They lead on arrangements for events for the office, as well as University events (including honorary degree ceremonies) and a range of events for development and alumni. 

We also provide advice on the protocols to be used in events involving the President and Vice-Chancellor, the Chancellor, and/or other senior officers of the University, as well as advice on awards and honours (including national honours).
