In November 2017, Professor Sir Christopher Snowden outlined plans to re-shape the University and move to a five-faculty structure. We’re delighted to announce that our five new faculties launched this morning (1 August).
You can view organisational charts for the faculties below. These include Deans, Associate Deans, Heads of Schools, Heads of Departments and key professional services colleagues.
Faculty of Arts and Humanities
Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences
Faculty of Environmental and Life Sciences
The Communications and Marketing department has published advice on how to consistently refer to our new faculties, schools and roles in the updated Editorial Style Guide which can be accessed here.
From tomorrow (2 Aug), the online HR Organisational Charts will also reflect the new staff structure.

Professional services that have introduced interim changes will move to permanent structures over the coming months.
What’s next?
The creation of our five new faculties is an important milestone for the University. After the summer we will update students and staff on the next steps as we look to achieve the significant ambitions in our Strategy.
