External Relations works to represent the RAU as a world-class, and specialist, land-based institution to an external audience, including prospective students and their influencers, schools and colleges, RAU/RAC alumni, the media, and the general public.

Human Resources seeks to create a coherent framework for staff recruitment and development to support the University’s operational and strategic goals. We help to ensure the various aspects of people management work together to drive the behaviour and climate within the University to meet performance targets.

A broad portfolio of activity is managed by Commercial Services, Estates & Facilities through the blended working of three distinct teams.

The Estates & Facilities Team manages the overall condition of the estate, investing in our land and buildings, through our capital and maintenance programmes. In doing so we aim to maintain our heritage, provide a modern state-of-the-art learning environment, whilst reducing our carbon footprint towards net zero.
