Remuneration

In previous years the University only published the details of the remuneration of the Vice-Chancellor in its annual accounts each December. However, when I took up the role of Vice-Chancellor the University’s Council agreed to my request that the information on my remuneration should be published as soon as any change was finalised and approved by Remuneration Committee and reported to Council.

Since August 2017, my base salary has been increased in line with the percentage awarded nationally to university staff (there was no such award in August 2020) and I have not received any performance awards since 2017. I do not undertake any paid work outside the University.

Tax rules apply to my University provided accommodation and I also participate in a university wide salary sacrifice scheme for an electric vehicle which is taxable.

You can see the University’s full accounts here.

Further information that will be published on these pages

I also publish here details of any other expenses that I incur in this role once those expenses have been submitted as approved by an authorised signatory in accordance with the University's financial regulations. For overseas travel, the proposed purpose and duration of all trips are approved in advance by the Pro-Chancellor and Chair of Council.

All the figures regarding salary provided on these pages will of course be provisional until they are published as part of the University’s Statutory Accounts each December.
