Support services

For the highest standard of teaching and research at the University to take place, we need support services operating at a level to match.

Professional Support Services

  • Compliance and Risk Office
    • Governance Office
  • Directorate of Estates and Facilities
  • Directorate of Finance
    • Change Management and Process Improvement
  • Directorate of Human Resources
  • Directorate of IT Services
  • Directorate of Research and Business Engagement Support Services
  • Directorate for the Student Experience
  • Division of Communications and Marketing
  • Division of Development and Alumni Relations
  • Office of the General Counsel
  • Office of the President and Vice-Chancellor
  • Office of Social Responsibility

Each of these report to the Registrar, Secretary and Chief Operating Officer, who in turn reports to the President of the University.

There is also a Head of Faculty Administration in each Faculty, overseeing support for these areas.
