Our staff work across three colleges and professional service areas; this enables us to work across disciplines, bringing innovative, collaborative approaches to our research and teaching. The University is governed by Council and Senate. It is led by the University Leadership Team and chaired by the President and Vice-Chancellor. Academic disciplines are organised into three colleges, each of which is divided into a number of departments and schools. Each college is led by a Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Head of College, who also sits on the University Leadership Team (ULT) and University Executive Board (UEB).
