University Court

The University Court for London South Bank University (LSBU) was established by the Board of Governors in autumn 2011 to help the University engage with its external stakeholders. The University Court plays an important advisory role in the development of the University through its large and varied membership of prominent and distinguished individuals. Members are able to become involved in the University and, where possible, pass on their skills and knowledge to our students, for example by delivering guest lectures or taking seminar groups.

The purpose of the University Court is to:

  1. support the University in the development and achievement of its objectives
  2. review and discuss the annual report of the University
  3. review and discuss an annual update on the University's development from our Vice Chancellor
  4. allow members to meet each other and share experience and views

The University Court plays a purely advisory role and has no executive authority in the governance and conduct of the University.

For more details see the University Court's Terms of Reference (word doc 53KB, opens in new window).
