The Senate is the University's main academic administrative body, and reports to the University Council. It meets at least four times a year, and advises on areas such as student entry, assessment and awards. 

The Senate is comprised of Heads of Schools / elected School representatives, professional staff and students, and currently has around 100 members. They play a vital role in instigating changes across the University, and serve as the reporting body for boards tasked with developing teaching and learning, research and global engagement.
