Independent Members of the Board of Governors

De Montfort University (DMU) is an ambitious, globally-minded institution with a commitment to delivering quality teaching and learning, and a campus-wide focus on providing a sector-leading student experience. A culturally rich university with a commitment to the public good, it strives to maintain a stimulating and inclusive environment where staff and students are able to thrive. The university is a vibrant, multicultural hub of learning, creativity and innovation that never surrenders to convention.

DMU’s strategy - ‘The Empowering University’ is championed by our Vice-Chancellor, Professor Katie Normington. It is designed to enable its students, staff and partners to create a fairer society. At this exciting time for the Institution, the University is seeking to add a number of new independent governors to its board; exceptional individuals with the requisite intellectual capacity, commercial acumen and strategic expertise to add genuine value as non-executive critical friends.

Expressions of interest are encouraged from a wide and diverse range of backgrounds and communities. Experience gained in the areas of audit, law, and/or individuals with executive level experience within a dynamic commercial environment which has a leaning towards young people would be particularly welcome at this time. Above all, it is essential that individuals are committed to DMU’s values of diversity and inclusivity and are able to work collaboratively with a talented executive team for the benefit of all our communities.

The board plays a crucial role in the development of the University’s vision and strategic direction with these posts offering a genuine opportunity to make a real and lasting difference.
