Welcome to the Vice-Chancellor's Office
The Vice-Chancellor is the principal academic and administrative officer of the University. Professor Alison Richard is the current Vice-Chancellor.
In Cambridge, the Vice-Chancellor is nominated by the Council (the University's principal executive and policy-making body) and elected by over 3,000 members of the Regent House (the University's governing body and electoral constituency).
Our team exists to support the Vice-Chancellor in carrying out her statutory and customary duties, and is also responsible for a number of specific areas of activity assigned by tradition or regulation to the Vice-Chancellor. The Office is also responsible for the Chancellor's business in Cambridge.
