Our Professional Services

The University's Professional Services work in partnership with academics to support the academic mission of the University.

Excellent Professional Services provide outstanding support to our researchers, enable an exceptional educational experience for our students, and help the University to grow its influence regionally, nationally, and globally.

Professional Services are led by the Registrar and Secretary and Chief Operating Officer, Mr Lee Sanders, who is supported by the Registrar's Leadership Group, made up of Senior Officers and the Directors of Operations in the Colleges. The Registrar's Leadership Group also oversees and directs the Birmingham Professional Programme.
