Those eligible to nominate themselves and to vote in each category will receive an email with full instructions on how to submit a nomination. 

Academic Board plays a vital role in the governance of the University to achieve its core aims of:

• Outstanding Student Experience:

• Civic and Global Engagement.

In particular, it is responsible to the Board of Governors for overseeing all academic activities, maintaining the academic standard of awards, and enhancing the quality of educational provision at LJMU.
