Welcome to Buckinghamshire New University’s Governance Hub.

A central resource for governance information, the Hub provides information on the University’s governance structure, decision-making processes, instruments of governance, and key personnel. It also facilitates access to the work of the University Council and central committees, providing a central access point for committee information, papers and resources.

Our governance structure comprises Council, which is the University’s formal governing body, and Senate, our principal academic committee. Executive management of the University is the responsibility of the Vice-Chancellor, supported by the University Strategy Group.
