Corporate governance

The Board of Governors has overall responsibility for running the University.

The Office of the Vice-Chancellor oversees the day-to-day running of the University.

The Academic Board is responsible for academic quality and standards, academic policies, research and scholarships.

A number of Subsidiary Companies also form part of the University. These Companies provide a range of services to students and staff and the wider community.

UH Trust is a charitable company limited by guarantee, registered under company number 08272294.
