The University of Oxford is a stimulating work environment, which enjoys an international reputation as a world-class centre of excellence.

Our research plays a key role in tackling many global challenges, from reducing our carbon emissions to developing vaccines during a pandemic.

The Proctors' Office is an impartial and discrete institution within the University, made up of the Proctors, Assessor, and a permanent secretariat team that advises and supports the Proctors and Assessor in their work.

The Proctors and the Assessor are annually elected senior officers and trustees of the University, and are given considerable powers to act on the University's behalf in matters of central importance to its functioning and its reputation.

The support provided by the Proctors' Office team supports the five main areas of the Proctors' and Assessor's work, namely:

governance and scrutiny of University legislation, policy and practice;

- regulation of examinations;
- student complaints and academic appeals;
- student misconduct;
- ceremonial duties.
