Dr Jonathan Nicholls, the University's Registrar, has accepted a new position as the Registrar and Secretary of the University of Birmingham. He will be taking up this post at the start of 2004.

Professor David Vandelinde, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Warwick said "In his 21 years here Jonathan has seen Warwick grow from being what was then the newest university in the Midlands to become one the top 10 research universities in the UK. That growth has been in no small part due to the energy and talent of skilled key staff such as Jonathan. We thank him for all he has done at Warwick and wish him well for the future."
