The University is seeking to co-opt members to its governing body, the University Court, to help develop and meet its strategic objectives. A leading Scottish university with a strong international profile, we are seeking outstanding individuals to serve as governors to help us further enhance our reputation.

Applications from all sectors of the community are welcome. Applicants with executive experience in the areas of law, finance, audit and human resources would be of particular interest and experience at Board level in the private or public sector is desirable.

Successful candidates will need to commit around 10 days per year to the duties of governor but with the option of a more substantial commitment of time. The role is non-executive and is not remunerated.

Further information on the role of a governor at the University can be obtained by telephoning the Court Office on 0141 330 4120 and applications consisting of a CV and a covering letter should be sent to Mr David Newall, Secretary of Court, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, G12 8QQ to arrive by 22 July 2005.
