Executive Committees
This page contains basic information about the University-level Committees which oversee the development of teaching and learning across the University. Its content is primarily aimed at staff but may also be of interest to students across all of the UK, China and Malaysia campuses.
What you need to know
There are currently three formal Committees which have responsibility for the University's teaching and learning agendas. Each includes senior academics, colleagues from Professional Services and the Students' Union amongst its membership, and colleagues from our overseas campuses in China and Malaysia are also represented.
Each Committee also has its own lead administrator who oversees the organisation of meetings, agendas and shared spaces.
Education and Student Experience Committee (ESEC)
ESEC has overall responsibility for the University's academic quality and standards. In addition, it supports the work of Student Services, Campus Life, Admissions and Student Recruitment.
This group reports directly to the University's Senate and is chaired by the Pro-Vice Chancellor for Education and Student Experience.
