Structure, academic management and finance Our Vice Chancellor and Chief Executive is Professor Iain Martin. The Vice Chancellor is supported by the Vice Chancellor’s Group (VCG) which consists of three Deputy Vice Chancellors, each with specific areas of responsibility, plus the Director of Finance and the Secretary and Clerk to the Governors. Deans of Faculties and Directors of Professional Services combine with the Vice Chancellor’s Group to form the Corporate Management Team (CMT) and are responsible for our strategic and operational functions. Our academic activities are organised into five discipline-based Faculties, each headed by a Dean. Each has a Faculty Board responsible for quality assurance and curriculum development. Academic authority rests with Senate which is made up of elected representatives and members of leadership. Senate is responsible for advising academic development in research, scholarship and teaching; the establishment of criteria for the admission of students; the appointment of external examiners; the assessment of students; the structure of the curriculum; quality assurance and the award of degrees and other qualifications, including honorary awards.
