The University’s Vice Chancellor is to retire next year after 15 years running the place.

Bob the Builder

Professor Sir Robert Burgess has been at the helm since 1999, delivering many improvements including a huge surge for Leicester Uni’s academic standing in league tables.

He has also been nicknamed ‘Bob the Builder’ by some, thanks to huge building projects seen on campus in recent years including the David Wilson Library.

The application process to decide his successor is currently underway on the University website.
