Message from the Vice-Chancellor

The University of Hull www.hull.ac.uk

The University of Hull is on a journey, one that is led by our commitment to delivering excellent research and a fantastic student experience.

I am honoured to have taken up the position of Vice-Chancellor of the University of Hull in August. From the moment I stepped on campus prior to being appointed, the University of Hull just felt right. I felt an instant warmth from colleagues and students, there was a great vibe about the place. Hull was a very attractive opportunity, given its position as a traditional university with some strong research, some really great teaching as well as the very positive impact it has within our communities.

I join at an exciting time yet instrumental time. Over the last few years the higher education landscape has altered dramatically, resulting in an increasingly competitive environment, therefore it is imperative as a University that we do not stand still. We are always looking to evolve our approach to ensure that we meet the needs of our students, regional, national and global collaborators and partners, both now and in the future.

Over the last 18 months, the foundations that will pave the way for our continued success have been laid and we are now looking for experienced leaders, with a passion for making a difference, to drive forward our 2020 Strategic Plan.

With a keen focus on performance and pursuing excellence in all that we do, we are looking for strong leaders to continue to drive our transformation, working together with colleagues, students and partners to achieve Hull’s bold ambitions.

Our values – open, excellent, and connected, are much more than words on the page – they reflect who we are and how we work to create a culture for success.

This is a time of great opportunity for Hull. I very much look forward to receiving your application for what will be a stimulating, challenging and professionally fulfilling role. Please do not hesitate to let us know if you require more information.

Yours sincerely

Professor Susan Lea, Vice-Chancellor

The Vice-Chancellor, Professor Susan Lea

Professor Susan Lea is passionate about the role of universities in transforming lives and positively impacting society. She has a track record of leading successful, inclusive organisational change with a consequent raising of performance.

Professor Lea brings extensive leadership experience, from a broad range of universities. Her career spans research and teaching intensive universities, as well as those that play a key role in their region, with senior positions at the University of Greenwich, King’s College London and, earlier, the University of Plymouth.

Professor Lea began her career as a lecturer in psychology at the University of Cape Town. She moved to the University of Plymouth in 1994 where she held a number of senior positions, at both faculty and university level, whilst maintaining her commitment to her research into domestic and sexual violence. She moved to King’s

College London in 2010 where she simultaneously held a number of senior management roles, including Dean of Education and Professor within the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience. She was King’s Interim Vice-Principal (Education) from November 2012 to March 2013, and went on to hold a number of senior, cross-institutional roles.

Professor Lea was appointed Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) at the University of Greenwich in April 2015, where her responsibilities included playing a key role in developing the strategic vision for the University, driving and managing change in order to improve the quality and scope of staff engagement, improving academic outcomes and leading, with the DVC (Research), the integration of teaching and learning into the University’s research strategy.

She now brings that vision and experience to Hull, with a commitment to realise the full potential of the University and contribute significantly to the city and region.

I’m really inspired by the lecturers here. Not only are they really supportive of you as an individual, they are also performers – they know what it’s like to write and play your own material because they do it themselves.”

Katrina Rae, Drama and Music student

We believe in our students

We believe in our students, unlocking their potential to shape their future. That’s why we invest in our students and take the time to get to know them, equipping them with the skills, knowledge, experience and confidence to help them push beyond where they thought they could go, in whatever career they choose.

Last year, we were awarded Silver in the Teaching Excellence Framework, which recognises and rewards excellence in learning and teaching in higher education institutions. In particular, we were praised for excellent student outcomes.

With 16,500 students, one in six come to the University from outside the UK and from more than 100 countries. Moreover, they leave with the skills, values and creative potential that will drive their future careers and enable them to

contribute to the world as rounded and responsible citizens.

It is testament to the hard work and dedication of our students, and the University staff who have taught and supported them, that 96.1% of our graduates go on to find employment or further study within six months of graduating (Destination of Leavers from Higher Education for the academic year 2015/16, published by HESA June 2017).

We are almost 2,500 people who are ambitious about the future: ours, our staff, our students, our alumni and the world around us. Our brighter research and brilliant teaching are designed to inspire thinking and expand horizons. As one of England’s oldest universities, our motto Lampada Ferens – carrying the light of learning – remains as relevant as ever as we continue to empower people to shape the future.

The University of Hull – a place to shine

Join a university where everyone matters, everyone can grow, and everyone can make a difference. This is a place to shine.

The University of Hull

Whether it’s about seizing new opportunities, broadening your horizons or simply doing what you love, if you have the energy and drive to succeed you will go far at the University of Hull.”

Mark Lorch, Associate Dean (International) and Professor in Science Communication and Public Engagement

Lecturer who puts the fun into science is instrumental in bringing the British Science Festival to Hull

From calculating how many eggs Spiderman needs for breakfast, to busking his own brand of street science, Mark Lorch inspires and entertains, bringing science to life.

Professor Lorch came to the University 10 years ago and has carried out a number of roles in research and teaching, and more recently became the Associate Dean (International) in the Faculty of Science and Engineering and Professor in Science Communication and Public Engagement.

With the ability to engage audiences of every age, Mark plays a key role in inspiring people to take up careers in science and technology, supporting the region’s growth in these industries.

The University’s annual Science Festival has grown in size and stature under Professor Lorch, with around 6,000 people visiting the campus in 2017 to attend the event.

Building on this, Mark has now been instrumental in bringing the British Science Festival to Hull and the Humber in September 2018, which offers an incredible opportunity for the University to showcase the best of British science and inspire the public.

The University’s Wilberforce Institute’s life changing slavery research received national recognition when it was awarded the prestigious Queen’s Anniversary Prize in 2016.

Yorkshire Cancer Research is investing over £5-million into research programmes to tackle cancer inequalities in Hull

Life-changing research

We look at things in a different light, working together to find new ways of seeing and understanding.

From slavery and emancipation to health and medicine, logistics and supply chain, and energy and environment; our research is making a real difference by addressing global challenges.

The University ranked in the top 50 UK institutions based on research power in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework, with 62% of the submitted research classified as internationally excellent or world-leading, and areas such as Geography and Computer Science achieving a top five ranking, based on research impact.

We’re building on our strengths, creating a thriving and inspiring, ‘research rich’ environment, working towards achieving a top 50 research profile in the 2021 REF.

Confidence in our research capability has never been stronger. In response to the changing and increasingly competitive environment in which we operate, our focus over the last year has been on using our expertise to develop mutually beneficial, long-term collaborative relationships with external partners. As a result, the University has significantly increased (by 35%) the number of competitively won research grants over the last year.

Our journey continues

We are extremely proud of the positive impacts we make on the lives of people and societies through our education and research.

A £200-million investment programme in high-quality teaching and learning facilities, IT infrastructure, research laboratories, social spaces and sporting facilities has seen our campus transformed; a transformation that is already offering significant benefits to students, staff and the wider community. We are also working with the University Partnership Programme Limited, a leading provider of on-campus student accommodation, who have leveraged a further £153-million of investment and will deliver additional, excellent accommodation options for our students.

The University’s evolution extends well beyond physical change. Our focus on improving the way that we operate and work with others has helped us to form valuable partnerships and is creating new opportunities for our students, the businesses and other organisations we work with and our research partners. One of the highlights is our significant contribution, as a Principal Partner, to Hull’s success during its reign as the UK City of Culture 2017. Building on this success, we are bringing the best of British science to Hull and the Humber, hosting the British Science Festival in September 2018. This gives us the opportunity to showcase our significant contribution to this field - focusing on three key areas - energy and the environment; health and the medical sciences; and exploration, movement and discovery.

With a keen focus on performance and pursuing excellence in all that we do, the University of Hull continues its journey, one that is led by our commitment to delivering excellent research and a fantastic student experience.

Dr David Benoit, Senior Lecturer in Physical Chemistry, noted: “This means our research can go from something you would never dream of doing to something you can do in a month. In terms of being competitive on a world stage, this is absolutely crucial.”

Researchers at the University now have direct access to one of the most powerful computers in the country, following a £2.1 million investment in a new high performance computer. It is the fastest machine of any northern university and the seventh fastest of any university in the country. Named Viper, it provides researchers with the opportunity to significantly enhance the impact and quality of research at the University.

As Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Education) Professor Speight is responsible for all aspects of the University’s taught academic provision, including learning and teaching strategy, programme portfolio review, curriculum design and development, technology assisted learning and pedagogy, quality assurance and enhancement, widening access and participation, domestic and international student recruitment, and domestic and international academic partnerships.

Professor Speight has served on the committees of a range of national bodies and agencies, including as a member of the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) Council, and as a non-Executive Director and Board member of the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA). He is a long-standing and current member of the QAA Advisory Committee for Degree Awarding Powers, and has served on a range of sector body review

groups including, for example, the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), External Examining Review Steering Group and, more recently, the HEFCE Annual Provider Review Expert Panel.

Professor Speight’s academic background is in Economics, and he holds degrees from the University of Essex (BA) and the University of London (MSc, PhD). He has held Professorships in both Economics and Finance, and is a member of the Royal Economic Society, the British Accounting and Finance Association, and the American Finance Association.

Professor Speight joined the University of Hull in 2015, having been Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Student Experience) at Swansea University from 2008, where he was also previously Dean of the Faculty of Business, Economics and Law from 2003.

The Directorate has, in response to changing external and internal environments and requirements and new University Faculty roles and structures, recently realigned with these structures to operate in a more holistic way, with greater emphasis being placed upon the pursuit of teaching excellence and the enhancement of learning and teaching practice, to be delivered through a business partnership model of working with Faculties.

The membership of each Faculty partnership team consists of an Academic Data Manager, Academic Quality Manager, Teaching Enhancement Advisor, Teaching Enhancement Officer and an Administrator. This approach means the Directorate operates in partnership with Faculties to ensure a holistic approach is taken to support the objective of teaching excellence across the University’s academic portfolio of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes of study, and so that Faculties are supported in maximising performance against internal and external measures, in particular TEF and related metrics.

The operating model means that the Directorate builds upon and extends the principles and practice of the existing Student Experience Enhancement Review process. This is to not only support staff to gain insight into National Student Survey data that the Directorate staff have analysed and reported on, but also so that other sources of information, such as the Hull Student Survey, external examiner reports and annual programme monitoring reports, are also used to both broaden and deepen insight into academic practice, whether good or in need of improvement.

The role of Directorate staff is to support programme teams to identify and implement appropriate interventions (e.g. to improve practice and/or share effective practice), with Directorate staff also supporting Faculty based programme teams to modify programme delivery and documentation where appropriate. This process becomes cyclical with analysis of data from a range of sources. The data is used to inform the evaluation of interventions and hence the identification of further engagements with Faculty based staff in pursuit of the institutional aim of delivering teaching excellence.

Furthermore, each Faculty has a dedicated Teaching Enhancement Advisor and Teaching Enhancement Officer to support learning and teaching enhancement activity within the Faculty. The Teaching Enhancement Officer role in particular aims to support staff to make more effective use of technology in their pedagogical practice, and thus complements the work of the Teaching Enhancement Advisors who support staff engagement with the use of student centred pedagogy in their academic teaching practice, that aims to address key TEF metrics, including student retention and achievement as well student satisfaction with all aspects of their learning experience.

These teams have also established and support a range of Faculty and University wide communities of practice on pedagogical themes as well as specific role based groups including Directors of Learning & Teaching and Programme Leaders. The teams also design and deliver CPD activity to support effective academic teaching practice that is delivered at University, Faculty and School level.

The nature of this partnership between the Directorate and Faculties means the Faculty partnership teams support Faculties to meet relevant Faculty Key Performance Indicators as well as School, Subject Group, and individual staff objectives identified as part of the Performance and Development Review Processes.

The Directorate not only supports the teaching excellence agenda through the activities of the Faculty aligned teams, but also maintains the current scholarship of learning and teaching portfolio that includes the Passport to University Teaching course and HEA-accredited Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice, and supports schemes to enhance pedagogical practice through a range of scholarly activities. In addition, the Directorate leads on a number of cross-University learning, teaching and assessment related projects such as assessment and feedback practices, blended learning approaches including online learning, graduate skills and attributes, curriculum and portfolio development, and student feedback.

Finally, the Directorate is also responsible for the maintenance of academic standards, academic and regulatory framework reporting, the quality support and monitoring of collaborative provision programmes, supporting relevant University committees, meeting external and internal academic reporting requirements, and managing pedagogic development funding opportunities.
