Student representation
We encourage student participation in governance of the Faculty of Business and Law.
The governance of an organisation is the structure and process which allows planning and decision-making to take place. It is about effective management and accountability to stakeholders.
The Faculty of Business and Law invites students to participate in the various boards and committees which control all aspects of the management of the Faculty to ensure input from our most important stakeholders - our students.
If you would like to participate in the governance of the Faculty, please complete our expression of interest form.
