Dear dtnl42-ga,
This has proved to be a demanding task as I had to review each college
to enable me to give you a complete answer. In both Oxford and
Cambridge the Head of a College can be given the following title:
Master/Mistress, President, Provost, Rector, Principal, Dean and
Warden.
During my research I found one college, Trinity College, whose rules
specified that the appointment must be made by the Monarch on advice
of the Prime Minister and they must hold a degree from Cambridge. Of
course there may be others but I did not find them.
"The Mastership of Trinity is a Crown Appointment, made by the Monarch
on the advice of the Prime Minister. The Master must hold a degree
from Cambridge, and has in the past usually been a member of Trinity
College."
http://www.trin.cam.ac.uk/index.php?pageid=172
Apart from the above, I found no evidence of any restriction or
requirement that they have attended the college earlier in their
academic career. Indeed, I found examples of Cambridge graduates being
appointed at Oxford, although it must be said that there were fewer
examples in the reverse. There are, however, some Masters are serving
at the college where they obtained their first degrees.
The main attributes for all the Masters I noted were:
United Kingdom born;
Either a distinguished academic background, some had been abroad at
other universities or academic institutions, others have been
Government advisors or sitting on various committees or organisations
appointed by the Government; or, a long-serving Civil Servant ? a
number were diplomats who had been with the Foreign and Commonwealth
Office for over 25 years. Slightly suprising, another civil servant
was Sir Richard Dearlove, who was former head of MI6.
There were, however, a smattering of lawyers, two Oxford Masters with
strong media backgrounds in the BBC and Channel 4, and a couple of
engineers. No musicians, sports persons, or Google Researchers, so
stay clear of that.
Gender is not an issue.
Also helpful is to have a Knighthood, or some other award such as OBE,
CBE; Honorary Degrees are always useful; or to have previously held
positions in other Universities such as Chancellor or Vice-Chancellor.
Finally, I?m sure it may be a case of not what you know, but who you know.
Some have held the position for over 13 years and it is difficult to
ascertain their biographies at the time of their appointment. Below is
a list of the Masters and a link to their biographies. To cut down on
the length of the list I have not included their qualifications ?
apologies to all concerned.
I hope this answers your question. If it does not, or the answer is
unclear, then please ask for clarification of this research before
rating the answer. I shall respond to the clarification request as
soon as I receive it.
Thank you
