Current Role
- Company Name: SRUC
- Job Title: Chief Digital and Information Officer
- Start Date: February 2022
- Company Industry: Higher Education
- Location: United Kingdom
SRUC (Scotland’s Rural College) was formed on 1 October 2012 by the merger of Barony, Elmwood and Oatridge Colleges and SAC (Scottish Agricultural College). SRUC exists to deliver comprehensive skills, education and business support for Scotland’s land-based industries, founded on world class and sector-leading research, education and consultancy. The integration of these three complementary ‘knowledge exchange’ services will be of significant value to all with an interest in land-based activities – be they learners, businesses, communities or policy-makers.
The four original college partners - Barony, Elmwood and Oatridge and SAC - have combined more than a century of experience in research, education and rural business consultancy to establish SRUC. We are unique in Scotland and the largest organisation of its kind in Europe.
SRUC aims to carry out our work at local, national and international levels, leading innovation and sustainable development in agriculture and rural sectors. Our aim is to build a culture of excellence through the development of a Rural University College with degree awarding powers. We wish to become the UK’s leading agriculturally-focused Higher Education Institution, with increased global links and impact. Through high quality and relevant courses combined with excellence in teaching and support, our students will enjoy enhanced opportunities to progress in their studies from access level right up to PhD
