Heads of Schools
The University of New England has embarked on an exciting new path towards achieving the vision of a bold Strategic Plan to ‘achieve regional and global impact’. This is an exciting opportunity for academic leaders and managers from a wide range of disciplines to make a difference and provide essential impetus to the future achievements of the University.
We are interested to hear from experienced and motivated academic and professional leaders who will be committed to the development of the University through its students and staff. We are also keen to expand our links with the community, industry and practising professionals. The Heads of Schools play a vital role in these activities.
