Personal titles
Last updated 5 January 2024
Cases for promotion to a Personal Chair or the award of the title Reader will be considered by the Sub-Committee for the Award of Titles. The Sub-Committee meets every June and September. A Dean of School may recommend a member of staff for promotion to a Personal Chair or Readership at any time but should be mindful that the Sub-Committee currently meets twice a year.
