TEXT TBC, previous letter: A Welcome from Julie Ashworth, Senior Governor

Thank you for your interest in the role of Principal at the University of Aberdeen. This is a truly pivotal moment for our institution — a time of transformation, renewal, and opportunity. We are a proudly values-led university with a rich heritage and a powerful civic and global mission: open to all and dedicated to the pursuit of truth in the service of others.

We are seeking an inclusive, visible, and strategic leader who can guide us through a period of change while strengthening trust, culture, and community across the university. If you are inspired by the opportunity to shape the future of a committed, welcoming institution — and to leave a lasting impact on both our university and the wider world — we warmly encourage you to explore this unique and meaningful role.
