Vice-Chancellor

Norwich University of the Arts

Creativity is not only what we teach at Norwich University of the Arts, but also how we engage with the world. With nearly 3,000 students and more than 700 dedicated staff, we are proud to be a small university making a big impact.

We are the only specialist creative arts and design university to have earned a triple Gold in the most recent Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) exercise and we have been named Arts University of the Year 2025 by the Daily Mail. The University is characterised by its innovative and industry-engaged approach to creative education with an excellent reputation for student outcomes and employability.

Norwich University of the Arts bridges academic excellence with real-world relevance. Our Research and Knowledge Exchange Institutes lead cross-disciplinary projects that address urgent social, cultural and environment challenges. From immersive digital experiences tackling climate change to arts-led mental health collaborations, we demonstrate how creative thinking drives positive change.

The University is a vibrant community central to its city and region. Our campus is at the heart of Norwich’s creative quarter, comprising brand-new state of the art facilities and including the recently acquired iconic Bank Plain building. We celebrate diversity and believe it to be at the core of any creative endeavour.

We have enjoyed outstanding leadership for many years, meaning the incoming Vice-Chancellor will inherit an ambitious and resilient organisation with a strong financial base, an expanding portfolio of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes and a physical and digital estate benefiting from significant ongoing investment.

Following the announcement of the retirement of our current Vice-Chancellor, Professor Simon Ofield-Kerr, we are seeking a new Vice-Chancellor who will provide visible, inspirational and inclusive leadership, engaging our community of staff and students around a compelling vision and the development of a new University Strategy for 2027 onwards.

Candidates will be able to demonstrate an appropriate balance of strategic and operational leadership capability; a deep understanding of the creative sector and its future skills needs; a track-record of successful leadership in Higher Education alongside the ability to navigate the evolving UK HE landscape with agility and purpose; and a clear commitment to our distinctive ambition, values and vision.
