To be eligible for professorial promotion you must:

• have held a chair at the University on or before 1 October in the previous year
• have not had a pay review outside of the usual procedures (eg for retention purposes or linked to extending your term as HoD) since August in the previous year
• not be on a fixed-term contract ending before November in the current year

These arrangements do not apply to clinical academic staff for whom there are separate nationally agreed arrangements.
