The University of Exeter is a member of the prestigious Russell Group of top UK research universities, having ranked in the top 150 universities in the world and the top 15 UK universities in prestigious global and national league tables.

Launched in October 2021, our new Strategy 2030 aims to use our outstanding education, research and global connections to create a sustainable, healthy and socially just future. In order to help achieve this vision as a globally networked university, the University is now seeking to appoint a new Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Global Engagement).

They are responsible for networking and extending our global presence, as well as identifying new opportunities for Exeter for global partnerships and transnational education.
The Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Global Engagement) also leads international and domestic student recruitment and admissions, reviewing market trends and identifying and championing new markets and educational programmes. Working with our global alumni community, they will ensure we benefit from their expertise, networks and insights to support the delivery of our strategic vision. They will lead a refresh of our Global Strategy launched in 2019 to build on the progress made over the last four years and ensure alignment with the University’s new Strategy 2030.
We are seeking an individual with an established national and international reputation for global engagement initiatives and significant university leadership and management experience within a comparable institution. Able to inspire, lead and motivate, they will have excellent interpersonal skills in order to act as an ambassador for and representative of the Vice-Chancellor and the University to external stakeholders and partners.
