A new head of engineering and built environment has been appointed at a university.
Professor David Oloke will take up the role at Anglia Ruskin University (ARU), which delivers the largest range of engineering and built environment courses in the East of England.
The programmes are developed with industry and accredited by professional bodies including the Chartered Institute of Building.
Professor Oloke has previously led academic and professional services teams at several universities.
He said: “I am delighted to join Anglia Ruskin University at this pivotal time as the university builds on its impressive recent achievements, including being named Times Higher Education University of the Year and receiving a TEF Gold award for teaching excellence.
“My vision is to further strengthen ARU’s close links with employers and position the School of Engineering and the Built Environment as a leader – not only regionally, but nationally and internationally.”
Professor Laurie Butler, pro vice-chancellor and dean of ARU’s faculty of science and engineering, said: “Engineering and the built environment is a strategically important area for ARU and we’re thrilled to welcome David as our new head of school.”
