Doctoral College Governance

The Doctoral and Researcher College is governed by a Doctoral and Researcher College. The Board monitors the work of the College and provides feedback and guidance to the senior team.

The Doctoral and Researcher College Board has devolved authority from Academic Board in regards to Research Degrees and Research activity within the University.
