Governance

Part of the Directorate of Legal and Governance, the Governance team is responsible for managing, co-ordinating, supporting and making the University's formal decision making structures more transparent.

Council is the University's overall governing body. It delegates the majority of academic governance matters to Senate. Council and Senate are supported in their work by a range of more specialist committees.

Senior Leadership Team (SLT) is the University’s key operational management committee and is chaired by the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Tim Jones. The Vice-Chancellor, who also acts as the Accountable Officer to the Office for Students, is supported in his role by the University’s Senior Leadership Team.
