In 2011 he stepped down as Head of School to work for the Vice Chancellors Office as Director of Internationalisation, with responsibility for exploring and developing international partnerships for the university.  

Commenting on his appointment, Professor Craig said: "It is a tremendous honour to be appointed as Director of one of the most internationally respected and iconic pharmacy schools at a time when it has become integrated into one of the world's most prestigious universities.

"I am very much looking forward to working closely with the staff and students to promote excellence in teaching, research, enterprise and professional leadership. As a former student and staff member myself, it is a particular pleasure to come home to this much loved and admired institution."

We are delighted to welcome Professor Craig back to the School as Director. He is the ideal person to lead the School within its new home at UCL and to maximise the new opportunities for pharmacy. Professor Craig will take up his appointment in the New Year.
