The remit of the Research Programmes Board

The Research Programmes Board shall deal with strategic education matters in education at doctoral level  where a decision at faculty level is inappropriate owing to their University-wide nature. The remit also includes principles for quality assurance and quality enhancement.

The Research Programmes Board is first and foremost a preparatory and advisory body. The vice-chancellor may delegate decisions on certain issues to the Board.

The composition of the Research Programmes Board is regulated in the Rules of Procedure.
