LSBU is headed by the Board of Governors, which is responsible for overseeing the University's activities, determining our future direction and fostering an environment in which we can realise our mission to become London's top modern university by 2020.

The University Executive, led by the Vice-Chancellor, is responsible for the executive management of the University and implementing the decisions of the Board of Governors.

Our Academic Board is responsible for all academic activities, including quality and standards and policies and procedures for granting qualifications and titles.
