SOAS continues to make a positive impact throughout the world through excellent research and teaching and through its profound engagement with Asia, Africa and the Middle East.  The world needs universities that can serve as knowledge bases that speak to the immediate and future concerns of all of humanity and that engage with the major challenges of our time.

The appointee will be expected to play a critical role in the School’s mission to develop new overseas partners.

The ideal candidate will bring deep expertise and a strong track-record of delivery in teaching and learning in a UK context. They will be experienced in leading projects in relevant areas such as curriculum design, portfolio review, online and distance learning, digital delivery, and partnership development. They will have led successful teams. They could come from an academic or professional services background. They must understand the nuts and bolts of TEF and NSS, and the mechanics of quality assurance, and know how to navigate different regulatory frameworks.
