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 bestowed with 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 two Deputy Vice Chancellors who will be responsible for Academic and Operations matters.

The Deputy Vice Chancellor will oversee the deans of three schools (namely, the School of Foundation and Liberal Studies, School of Business and Administration, and School of Science and Technology), the Director of Centre for Graduate Studies, Registrar, Director of Learning and Library Services, Director of Educational Technology and the Director of Publishing.

Deans of the respective schools will be responsible for their academic staff members, which include associate professors, senior lecturers and lecturers. The schools are supported by other academic and administrative departments.

On the other hand, the Deputy Vice Chancellor for Operations will oversee the various departments responsible for finance, human resources, regional office management, IT services, marketing, communications, and general services and administration.
