Leadership and Governance
The UCQ Board of Governors provides strategic oversight and ensures the organisation meets its mission and regulatory responsibilities. It is supported by independent expert governors, who bring specialist knowledge and external perspectives to uphold high standards of governance.
UCQ’s Senior Leadership Team (SLT) takes operational responsibility for organising, managing, and delivering the high-quality further and higher education of UCQ, including implementing the Strategic Plan in line with the organisation’s Core Values, which have guided our actions for over thirty years.
The Board’s decisions are further informed by the Academic Board, which provides detailed academic insight and advice, ensuring that the quality and integrity of UCQ’s higher education provision is fully represented in governance.
