Professor Kelleher, currently deputy vice-chancellor and chief operating officer at Manchester Metropolitan University, will start at Uclan in 바카라사이트 summer.

Malcolm McVicar, current Uclan vice-chancellor, has said that he will stay on after 바카라사이트 summer as interim group chief executive.

Uclan plans to adopt 바카라사이트 new ¡°group structure¡± from August, whereby its international branch campuses in Cyprus, Thailand and Sri Lanka will be managed separately, with its vice-chancellor running only 바카라사이트 UK university and reporting to 바카라사이트 group chief executive.

The university is also planning to become a company limited by guarantee. That move would give it greater freedom to attract private investment, but has attracted fierce opposition from unions.
