Welcome

Thank you for your interest in the University of Staffordshire.

This is a pivotal moment in our journey. Having successfully navigated a period of change and renewal, the University is entering its next phase of development with confidence, ambition and a clear sense of purpose.

Recognised as the Daily Mail’s Modern University of the Year 2027, the University has established a distinctive reputation for innovation through its UK-leading Games and Digital provision, pioneering use of simulation and real-world learning, and expanding apprenticeship and workplace programmes.

As the current strategic plan approaches its conclusion, the University is looking ahead with confidence and ambition. The next Vice-Chancellor will have the opportunity to shape a new vision and strategy, building on strong foundations to drive sustainable growth, expand the University’s national and international influence, and unlock opportunities across partnerships, student recruitment and the continued development of the London campus.

The next Vice-Chancellor will join a university with strong foundations, bold possibilities and the opportunity to shape what comes next.

I invite you to watch the video below to learn more about the University, our ambitions, and the opportunity to become our next Vice-Chancellor.

Dr Jonathan Chapman
Interim Chair of the Board
