Coat of Arms

Our Chancellor accepted the letters patent on behalf of the university from the Lord Lyon King of Arms, granting the university its ensigns armorial (Coat of Arms) on the occasion of her installation in June 2012.

The combination of shapes and colours in the coat of arms is important. Ours features 13 hazel leaves representing our partnership, a compass rose with a fleur de lys to indicate “north” representing our distinctive geographical situation and two open books representing learning.

The Coat of Arms was granted to the university in 2012 and is reserved for use on a restricted range of official insignia and documents. Its use in any new context must be approved by the Director of Marketing, Communications and Planning: Martin Wright 01463 279221 The Chancellor receiving the Letters Patent from the Lord Lyon
