Governance and Compliance

Academic and Student Policy Development and Communication

The Governance and Compliance Team provides support for the planning, development and implementation of University academic and student policies.  This involves contributing to senior management discussions about policy and articulating them by drafting and amending policy documents.  Following scrutiny and approval by the relevant committees and Academic Board, final policies are disseminated University-wide for implementation.

The University’s academic and student policies approved by Academic Board are set out below and most have a brief summary of the policy set out on the first page.

If you have any queries that cannot be addressed through the information in these policies, please contact the Governance and Compliance team.
