Academic and administration affairs of the faculty

The academic operations of the faculty are governed by the senior science management committee (SSMC), which is chaired by the dean of the faculty. The dean exercises a general superintendence over the academic and administrative affairs of the faculty and is assisted by three associate deans (research training, research and education). The heads of schools are ex-officio members of the committee, and there are elected members representing various groups of staff within the schools of the faculty. The SSMC seeks advice from a number of standing committees, such as the faculty's education committee, research committee, and research degrees committee.

The faculty general manager, with the assistance of other managers and administrative officers, is responsible for the activities of the Faculty of Science office and works closely with the dean in the provision of administrative support to the faculty.
