The opportunity

University of the Arts London is seeking three inspirational and visionary Programme Directors to play a pivotal role at our School of Fine Art.

As Programme Director, you will provide astute academic leadership, managing the Programme and courses, whilst ensuring the maintenance and enhancement of high academic standards. You will be responsible for designing, developing, and delivering an engaging curriculum, as well as overseeing all aspects of teaching, learning, and student assessment.

In addition to your core responsibilities, you will observe and implement University and college policies and procedures, working collaboratively with other Programme Directors, cross-college colleagues, and external partners to foster collaboration, projects, and opportunities for students within the School of Fine Art.

About you
