Nolan studied veterinary medicine at Trinity College Dublin, and undertook postgraduate study at the Universities of Bristol and Cambridge and the Technical University of Munich.[2][3]
Nolan was appointed a lecturer at the University of Glasgow in 1989 and Professor of Veterinary Pharmacology in 1998. She continues to hold this post and remains active in research[1] focused on pain in animals.[4] In 1999, she was appointed Dean of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, the first female Dean at the University and the first woman to lead a British vet school.[1]
In 2004, she was appointed Vice-Principal of the University with responsibility for Learning & Teaching, and in 2006 took on the additional responsibility of Internationalisation.[2] At the same time, Professor Anton Muscatelli, Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences, was appointed Vice-Principal for Strategy, Budgeting and Advancement. In 2009, Professor Muscatelli was appointed Principal of the University and shortly afterwards promoted Professor Nolan to the new post of Senior Vice-Principal and Deputy Vice-Chancellor.[3] Professor Frank Coton, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, was appointed Vice-Principal for Learning & Teaching.[5] In her new role, Professor Nolan continues to work on expanding the international scope and reputation of the University, while working with Professor Muscatelli on plans for modernisation. As part of this, Professor Nolan has particular responsibility for the restructuring of the University's nine Faculties into four new Colleges.
Professor Nolan is also Chair of the Scottish Higher Education Enhancement Committee, part of the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education.[2]
