How our Vice-Chancellor’s pay is decided

The value of the Vice-Chancellor’s salary package is determined by the People and Remuneration Committee, which comprises up to five external members of the University's governing body and includes our Board’s Chair, Tijs Broeke.

The Vice-Chancellor does not sit on the People and Remuneration Committee and does not take part in decisions about their salary.

When the People and Remuneration Committee reviews the Vice-Chancellor’s remuneration package each year, it does so in consideration of the performance of the University and the Vice Chancellor, our gender pay gaps, executive pay ratio, and sector pay benchmarking that is provided by the Human Resources Director.
