Remuneration

The Vice-Chancellor’s remuneration is reported annually in the University Financial Statement. It consists of salary, pension contributions and other benefits. The current Vice-Chancellor is Professor Georgina Andrews and her salary is currently £236,000 per annum. Professor Andrews has also made a voluntary salary sacrifice of £10,000 per year as a donation to the Bath Spa University Students' Union. In addition, Professor Andrews makes a £1,088 salary sacrifice in donations to other charities.

The Vice-Chancellor’s total remuneration is reviewed annually by the University’s Remuneration Committee, which is chaired by an Independent Governor.

In determining the Vice-Chancellor’s remuneration, the committee considers a number of factors including the performance of the University in meeting key performance indicators, the individual contribution of the Vice-Chancellor to achieving the University’s strategic objectives, the need for the University to be competitive in the higher education market, affordability and reputation. The committee is also mindful of the need to respond to concerns about excessive salaries in the sector and therefore considers the ratio of highest to lowest paid and ratio of highest to median full time earnings.

For further information on the considerations of the remuneration committee, please see their report to the Board.
