University Council

The University’s governing body is the University Council. Under the Charter and Statutes, the Council is responsible for determining the educational character and mission of the University, overseeing its activities, ensuring its solvency and safeguarding assets.

The Council works closely with the Vice-Chancellor and other senior members of the Executive in setting the strategic direction of the University. Thereafter it is responsible for ensuring that there are effective systems of control and risk management in place.

Under integration arrangements agreed in 2017, the University Council works closely with the Council of the University of Wales and shares a standing committee structure. A common core of governors are members of the two Councils.
