Your new Academic Board members

Following the call for nominations for five vacancies on our Academic Board, the Secretariat is pleased to announce that they have filled the positions.

One eligible candidate for each vacancy successfully submitted their nomination form meaning that no election was required.  

Each person will now serve on the board for the next three years.

Maria Burquest, University Secretary and General Counsel, said: “Our new Academic Board members will now work strategically, together with our existing board members, in overseeing the planning, co-ordination, development and supervision of the academic work of the university, all with the common purpose of providing the best possible experience for our students.”
