We are seeking a dynamic academic Director to lead future-facing and ambitious new provision in the University, including, but not limited to, an innovative portfolio of Industry-related and Entrepreneurial modules. The Director will combine experience in industry with academic expertise to lead provision delivered in collaboration with internal and external stakeholders including industry partners.

At Regent's our Directors of Content focus on the delivery of great course content, putting students at the heart of everything that they do. As a Director, your work will be key to the successful delivery of the University's ambitions, providing strong and inspirational leadership.

Regent's University London is a private university with a stunning central London campus in the heart of royal Regent's Park. We offer a premium experience, tailored to our students - and cultivate globally minded graduates to bring purpose and passion to both people and planet.

At Regent's, students learn differently. Our future-facing curriculum, global community, high-value networks and vibrant culture of challenge and collaboration provides an education fit for the future. Our focus isn't on lecture halls and essay-writing, but on learning by doing - from some of the best in the business - to build valuable connections and bring their studies to life.

While proudly international in outlook, our intimate campus environment feels like a home-away-from-home. Here, students are supported by personal tutors and academic experts, who provide help, study support and career guidance for life. Put more simply, Regent's is about Cultivating Possibility for everyone.

We're part of Galileo Global Education (a multinational educational provider that comprises 120,000 students, 45 institutions and 13 countries) yet we remain a tight-knit, welcoming and supportive team - with brilliant staff benefits. To sustain our growth, we're looking for high-calibre, passionate professionals join our vibrant global community.

We'd love to hear from you!

Interviews will likely be held at our beautiful campus in mid-June.
