The University College is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity. It is governed by its Articles of Association which were last amended in August 2017.
The University College is directed by its Board of Governors acting under these Articles of Association. The Board has ultimate responsibility for the strategy, performance and sustainability of the institution. It approves the University College’s mission and strategy, monitors institutional performance and ensures its effective management. The current Chair of the Board is Ms Jeni Bremner.
The Articles of Association mandate that the number of Board members (who fulfil the role of directors for company law purposes) is not less than twelve and (unless otherwise determined by ordinary resolution) not greater than twenty-five.
The Vice-Chancellor of the University College, the Staff Governor, and the Student Union President and Vice-President are ex officio members. The rest of the Board members are independent lay members appointed for their expertise.
The Board actively endeavours to maintain the skills mix required for an effective Board, and where a skills gap is identified, nominations for new Governors are sought in a variety of ways, including advertising, through National Associations, and publicising vacancies to staff and graduates of the University College. Applications for independent governors of the Board are considered by the Governance & Nominations Committee before a recommendation is made to the Board. Appointments are for four years and may be renewed for a second term of office. All new governors receive a full induction. A Register of Interests is held by the University Secretary and details the interests of members of the Board; this is renewed annually.
The Board meets at least four times a year. It has a number of standing Committees which meet regularly between Board meetings:
The management and academic committee structure is overseen by the Board of Governors and Academic Board

This year, our first cohort of 91°µÍø University College MSc Podiatry (pre-registration) students, along with Associate Professor in Podiatry and Course Leader, Simon Otter, joined peers from the Universities of Brighton, Northampton, and East London.
