Academic Board

The Academic Board is responsible for the academic governance of the University. It supports the University’s commitment to academic excellence and the delivery of the highest quality education and research programmes and awards. The University’s benchmarks for robust internal academic quality management are informed by the UK Quality Assurance Agency; and its remit, summarised in its Terms of Reference, extends beyond regulating the academic work of the University to encompass issues such as research, scholarship, quality teaching and learning processes, curriculum enhancement and student learning experience. The Academic Board is the guardian of academic standards and plays a role in advising on matters relating to the academic components of the University’s Strategic Plan. It discharges certain responsibilities through standing sub-committees.
