Faculties

Faculties are headed by Deans who are elected by members of their Faculty. The Faculty Deans represent their Faculties in other bodies such as Senate. The Deans have a leadership responsibility of their Faculty and coordinate the work of the Faculty in terms of staffing, academic work, and student progress.

At present, the University has five Faculties:

• Faculty of Education,
• Faculty of Environmental Sciences,
• Faculty of Information Science and Communications,
• Faculty of Health Sciences and
• Faculty of Hospitality Management and Tourism.

Faculties work through their Faculty Boards and a variety of committees established by the Senate. Proposals from the departments are brought to Faculty Boards for deliberation before submission to Senate for ratification.
