Governance

Amity has a well-established and defined governance structure to ensure that decisions made by the institution are accountable and take account of the views of a diversity of stakeholders.

The Amity Governing Body is the highest governing authority at the university, with ultimate responsibility for all the institution’s affairs. The Governing Body comprises of individuals who have significant experience at senior level within the higher education sector and within industry. It is responsible for overseeing the university’s activities, determining future strategy and harbouring an environment in which the institutional mission can be achieved.

There are clear reporting mechanisms between the Governing Body and its sub-committees which are illustrated in the Academic Governance Diagram. There are a variety of committees with clear responsibilities for defined aspects of the institution including:

  • Academic Board

  • Academic Development Committee,

  • Admissions Committee

  • Marketing Advisory Committee

  • Teaching and Learning Committee

  • Quality Review and Assurance Committee

  • Research Committee and Student Services Committee

Student participation is a vital element of numerous committees and, in addition to the Student Committee, students are also guaranteed representation on a number of others that guide the institution.
