Academic Board

The Academic Board is the academic governing body within the College, reporting to the GC through its Chair. It is responsible to oversee and monitor the academic activities of the College, and to advise the GC on academic matters. The AB has functions and powers relating to academic matters such as course development, accreditation, teaching and learning, benchmarking, quality assurance, academic integrity and academic risks. The AB maintains a separation from the GC, allowing it to give objective and informed advice and recommendations on academic matters. The AB may form committees and working groups as and when required. The responsibilities of AB and its powers and functions are outlined in the AB Charter below. It may constitute committees to organise its functions.
