Sheffield Hallam's new Vice Chancellor

Sheffield Hallam University has welcomed Professor Liz Mossop who has begun her tenure as Vice-Chancellor.

Professor Mossop has developed a strong academic career in higher education leadership. She served as Provost and Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor at the University of Lincoln. Her previous roles also include Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Student Engagement and Development. Prior to that she held the position of Professor of Veterinary Education at the University of Nottingham alongside a senior leadership role in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences.

Liz began her career as a veterinary surgeon and is a graduate of the University of Edinburgh. With a commitment to science and education, Liz continues to contribute actively to her research field.

She was awarded a National Teaching Fellowship from the Higher Education Academy in 2016. Liz is a Council member of the Academy of Medical Educators, a member of the Teaching Excellence Framework panel and Vice Chair of the European Veterinary Accreditation Committee, as well as making significant contribution to the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons.

Liz said: “I am delighted to take up my position as Vice-Chancellor at Sheffield Hallam. It is a huge honour to lead a University with such a strong civic ambition, commitment to inclusion and emphasis on innovation.”

Professor Mossop succeeds Professor Sir Chris Husbands who stepped down from the role in December at the end of an eight-year term.

Sheffield voted one of the best cities in the UK for students

Sheffield comes third in new rankings from StudentCrowd. 

The news comes after a joint campaign by Sheffield Hallam University, the University of Sheffield and Marketing Sheffield (part of Sheffield City Council) to help people discover what makes the city such a distinct destination to live and study.

The award-winning campaign, Sheffield: Your University City, celebrated Sheffield as a great student city, promoting Sheffield’s individual personality which makes it unlike any other major city in the UK.

Sheffield is home to around 60,000 students from over 150 countries, many of whom choose to remain in the city after graduating – benefiting the city culturally and economically. 

Professor David Shepherd, Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Sheffield Hallam University, said: “We're thrilled that Sheffield has been recognised as one of the best cities in the UK for students. Sheffield is regularly voted one of the friendliest cities in the country and offers a thriving, welcoming environment for students from all backgrounds."
