Student Representation on the Vice Chancellors Executive Group

There is student representation concerning estates, planning, finance and strategic decision-making via the Vice Chancellors Executive Group.

The Vice Chancellor's Executive Group (VCEG) meets fortnightly and advises the Vice-Chancellor on the management of the University, matters of business and strategy; and the links between the Executive and staff, students, formal University bodies (such as Governors) and external organisations.

The VCEG consists of the senior executives of the University (including the Executive Deans). The wider senior management of the University, both academic and professional services, meets monthly through the Corporate Management Team and Strategic Leadership Team meetings.
