Vice-Chancellor's Talks: Professor Ben Stopher

Professor Ben Stopher is an academic and designer with extensive experience as a practitioner and creative consultant in digital design and computational practice. He began his academic career at the University for the Creative Arts and went on to hold a series of key strategic roles at the Royal College of Art and University of the Arts London (UAL).

Before joining Norwich, Ben was Dean of the Creative Computing Institute at UAL, where he led the establishment of the University’s first dedicated institute for computing and creative technologies. Over six years, he developed an ambitious portfolio of undergraduate, postgraduate, and research programmes, while cultivating a dynamic culture of interdisciplinary research and knowledge exchange.

His leadership is defined by innovation, collaboration, and a future-facing approach to creative practice. As Vice-Chancellor, Ben will guide Norwich University of the Arts into its next chapter – building on strong foundations and shaping a bold new strategic vision for the institution.

This talk will take place in the Duke Street Riverside Production Theatre and will be followed by a Q&A with questions and debate encouraged. All attendees are welcome to stay after the event for refreshments and nibbles, providing an opportunity for further discussion and debate in the Duke Street Riverside foyer.
