List of chancellors and vice-chancellors of British universities

Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This following is a current list of the chancellors, vice-chancellors and visitors of universities in the United Kingdom. In most cases, the chancellor is a ceremonial head, while the vice-chancellor is chief academic officer and chief executive. Some universities have a vice-chancellor but no chancellor; e.g. the LSE has a "president and vice-chancellor", only.[1] In Scotland, the principal is the chief executive and is usually ex officio vice-chancellor, which is a purely titular position. The visitor is appointed by the founder of an eleemosynary institution to oversee the distribution of the founder's bounty; in the case of universities, this is often the sovereign, in which case the office is usually carried out by the Lord President of the Council.[2] In general, only universities incorporated as chartered or statutory corporations have visitors, i.e. most pre-1992 institutions but not post-1992 universities. Scottish universities do not have visitors, nor do the two ancient universities of England, which are civil corporations.
