Edge Hill University appoints Professor Michael Young as Vice Chancellor

Professor Young will join the University in June from his current position as Deputy Vice-Chancellor at the University of Sunderland.

As DVC at Sunderland, Michael has been responsible for the University’s academic portfolio, teaching and learning, educational partnerships and research. He delivered ambitious strategies for student success, digital learning and graduate prospects, and led a major expansion of the portfolio, establishing the University’s medical school, online programmes and degree apprenticeships.

I am absolutely delighted to have been appointed as the next Vice-Chancellor of Edge Hill University. This is a University deeply committed to inclusive education with a relentless drive for excellence in teaching and research, on a truly stunning campus.
