Timeline
The aim of the project team is to implement the new structure on 1 August 2015, aligning to the new academic year. In the meantime it is business as usual with faculties and schools continuing to operate as they do now until 31 July 2015.
Over the coming months regular two-way communication is essential to ensure you are kept up to date and are fully informed of proposals. Your feedback is valued and as part of the consultation and communication process. All views, suggestions, ideas and inputs are welcome and will be fully considered.
In the interim an indicative timeline relating to the process for determining the academic structure of the University is detailed below.
2015 dates will follow shortly.
