How we make decisions

There are two decision-making bodies in the University; these are the Council and Senate. The Council is the University's supreme governing body, responsible for setting its strategic direction and policies, and for the University's finance and assets. 

Senate is the highest academic body, responsible for the University's academic policies and for regulating academic work and standards.
