The university’s senior academic deliberativebody - normally called the academic board or senate - is formally responsible for the admission of students, assessment, recommending on program requirements and the award of degrees and university prizes and academic matters in general.

Bodies’ roles are shaped by the university’s tradition and culture and by the attitudes of the vice chancellor, chair of the body, its members and the university community generally.
