Queen Mary University of London appoints Professor Giuliana Pierias as Vice-President for Education

An experienced academic leader with a strong commitment to educational excellence, inclusion, and global engagement, Giuliana is joining Queen Mary from Royal Holloway, University of London. At Royal Holloway, University of London, she held various senior leadership roles including Head of Department, Executive Dean of the School of Humanities, Dean of the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Associate Pro-Vice-Chancellor (International).

As a passionate advocate for ensuring all students succeed, Giuliana’s values align closely with Queen Mary’s vision and mission to open the doors of opportunity through excellence to anyone with the potential to succeed.

I am delighted to be joining Queen Mary. What excites me most is the opportunity to work with colleagues and students at a university whose commitment to excellence and inclusion is so deeply embedded in its mission. Queen Mary has a distinctive ability to transform lives through education, and I look forward to helping build an outstanding student educational experience that matches the exceptional outcomes its students already achieve.
