Glasgow Caledonian – the largest and leading modern university in Scotland – is a vibrant, values-led organisation with campuses in the heart of Glasgow and London. Through our strong commitment to delivering high quality education and research, we are responsive to the needs of the communities we serve.

With a wide range of professionally accredited courses and links with over 300 industry partners, we have the highest proportion of first-degree graduates in highly skilled occupations (82%) compared to other Scottish modern universities. In 2023, we entered the top 40 universities in the UK in the Guardian University Guide and were in the top 50 UK universities in the 2024 Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide for the first time.

The University is now looking to appoint a new Chair of Court. The Chair is responsible for the leadership of Court as the University’s governing body, and, together with the governing body and the Principal, is responsible for setting the strategic direction of the University and ensuring the delivery of its key objectives.

Candidates must evidence a proven track record as a successful executive or non-executive leader within an organisation of comparable size and complexity to the University; substantial experience of chairing board-level meetings and working alongside chief executives gained within complex organisations in the private, public or third sectors; and a strong personal commitment to the mission, values, aims and objectives of the University.
