Structure and organisation of the faculty

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 and Academic Services. Officers within Student and Academic Services provide information and advice to students on the above student-related matters. The director, Teaching, is responsible for policy matters relating to Student Services, and works closely with the, manager, Student and Academic Services and the relevant officers.

The manager, Student and Academic Services, together with the faculty student services 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.
