Northumbria University appoints new vice-chancellor and chief executive

An engineering academic has been appointed as the new vice-chancellor at Northumbria University.

Prof Andy Long will become the Newcastle-based university’s vice-chancellor and chief executive in August, following the retirement on incumbent Prof Andrew Wathey.

Prof Long is currently provost and deputy vice-chancellor at Nottingham University, where he has studied and worked since 1990. He had previously been the university’s pro-vice-chancellor for its faculty of engineering, and before that its executive dean and associate dean for research.
