The Faculty of Law is not divided into departments: academic staff are collectively involved in the decision-making processes of the faculty through a well-defined committee structure with membership of committees determined either by election or by nomination.
The chief officers of the faculty are the dean, the associate deans and the
faculty manager.
The dean presides over meetings of the faculty board and a number of its
committees, and is concerned with staffing, finance and the overall strategic
direction of the faculty.
The faculty manager is concerned with the overall administration of the faculty
including human resource management, budgets, admissions and matters relating
to student administration. The day-to-day management of Student Services
including, for example, enrolments, examinations, academic progress, course
advice, teaching allocations and timetabling, is the responsibility of the
manager, Student Services. Officers within Student Services provide information
and advice to students on the above student- related matters. The associate
dean (student affairs) is responsible for policy matters relating to Student
Services, and works closely with the, manager, Student Services and the
relevant officers.
The manager, Student Services, together with the faculty administrative
officers (either the undergraduate studies officers or the postgraduate studies
officers), are available to provide detailed course advice for undergraduate
and postgraduate students within the faculty and should be consulted whenever
possible.
