About the University Council

The Council is the University's executive governing body and meets at least four times each academic year. It sets the University's strategic direction, ensures compliance with statutory requirements and approves constitutional changes.

The Council is ultimately responsible for oversight of the University's estate, finance and staff, with much of the detailed work falling to sub-committees.

A broad representation of lay members, drawn from commercial, community and professional organisations, provide the Council with a valuable perspective. Each member commits to taking responsibility for the Council’s decisions.
