University Executive Board
The University Executive Board (UEB) acts as the University’s executive leadership team.
As part of its governance role, Council delegates decision-making responsibility to the Vice-Chancellor and UEB.
Led by the Vice-Chancellor, UEB oversees the delivery of our University vision and strategy and ensures there is effective leadership, management and co-ordination of all our major academic and Professional Services activities.
Its responsibilities include resources (for example, people, finance, technology and estates), organisation (for example, structures, policies and decision making) and services (for example systems, projects and service delivery).
UEB monitors and interprets external events, for example financial or political developments, to understand any likely impact on the University. It supplies Council and its committees with executive reports, draft budgets and accounts, key performance indicators, benchmarking information on capital investment and reports on risk management.
