How we make decisions
This section explains our decision-making processes and the ways we formally record them.
Our decision-making processes
How the University is run
Our Charter determines that our supreme governing body is the Council. It also establishes our Senate as the academic authority of the University, with responsibility for overseeing teaching, learning and research.
The University Leadership Team (ULT) is the University’s operational executive body, led by our Vice-Chancellor.
Council, Senate and ULT are supported by specialist committees within our committee structure.
