The organisational structure

The Vice Chancellor is the chief executive and academic officer of the university. It is the duty of the Vice Chancellor to ensure that the provisions of the university's constitution and its regulations are observed, and he is conferred the powers necessary for this purpose. The Vice Chancellor shall, subject to the provisions of the constitution, exercise general supervision over the arrangements for instruction, research, finance, administration, welfare and discipline in the university, and may also exercise such other powers as may be conferred upon him by the constitution and regulations.

The Vice Chancellor is supported by three Deputy Vice Chancellors and the Assistant Vice Chancellor (Academic Support) who are responsible for Academic, Operations, and Strategy, Planning and Continuing Education.
