Faculty Boards

Faculty Boards are often considered the motors of an academic community, large enough to make their own strategic decisions but small enough to be close to students and staff. In the governance hierarchy, Faculty Boards are sub-committees of the Senate, to which they report.

Terms of reference for each Faculty Board are as follows:

to determine the learning programmes, teaching and research within the Faculty;
to ensure that all students receive the best possible learning experience;
to ensure an appropriate level of professional development for staff;
to develop research policies that reflect the priorities of the Faculty;
to ensure that proper mechanisms are in place to demonstrate high standards of quality to internal and external assessors;
to agree and implement the academic organisation of the Faculty;
to prepare plans for the further development of the Faculty, for consideration in the first instance by the Senate and subsequently by the Council;
to communicate its activities effectively within the Faculty and more widely across the university community.

Membership shall comprise:

the Dean of the Faculty (Chair);
the Heads of Programme in the Faculty;
representatives of subjects in the Faculty elected by and from among the academic staff;
representatives of subjects in the Faculty elected by and from among the learners;
any other members who can contribute to the effective operation of the Faculty.

Faculty Boards will normally meet three times a year.
