Vice Principals

The Principal is supported by a team of Vice Principals.

A number of Vice Principals, such as Heads of the Colleges, are responsible for the management and operation of major parts of the University on a full-time basis.

Others are thematic Vice Principals and have responsibility for strategic leadership in a particular area or areas, serving on a part-time basis.

Thematic Vice Principals are designated by the University Court on the recommendation of the Principal.
