Welcome Letter

I am delighted that you are interested in these exciting and critical roles. Brunel University has conceived a brand of education, and later research which is overwhelmingly geared towards the needs of industry. Our ambition is to equip students for the world of work and to address society’s challenges on a global scale. The challenges to do this are always changing but our aims continue to be to remain innovative and ambitious, to give students the academic education and personal skills needed to become a success in the real world.

​

The significance of our work, the variety and dedication of the people who work here, and commitment to transforming how we work and the services we provide to students are some of the most important things that attracted me to join this University. Finance is at the heart of decision making, not just commentating on the numbers but actively shaping the organisation and driving the agenda. For anyone passionate about Higher Education at a highly important and exciting time for the sector there’s never been a better time to join our team. 

​

I hope that you find this challenge as interesting and exciting as I do, and I welcome your application

​

James Hobson

Director of Finance, Brunel University London
