A former nurse is to become principal at the University of the West of Scotland (UWS) in what is thought to be a national first.
Professor James Miller will lead the institution from November 1, bosses have confirmed.
The university said Prof Miller had a "substantial" leadership track record, having been deputy vice-chancellor of Glasgow Caledonian University since August 2015. He previously held a range of other senior roles, including director of the Open University in Scotland and chief executive of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow.
