Higher education admissions body UCAS will soon be on the hunt for a new chief executive.
Clare Marchant, who has led UCAS since July 2017, will leave the role later this year to become the vice chancellor of the University of Gloucestershire.
UCAS said Marchant will remain in post during this year’s clearing period but won’t yet provide a firm departure date. The UCAS board will begin the search for a new chief executive “shortly”.
Trudy Norris-Grey, the chair of the UCAS board, said Marchant “leaves UCAS in an incredibly strong position” and paid tribute to Marchant’s role in expanding the support UCAS provides “to students making life-changing decisions.”
