The constitutional framework within which we operate is based upon our Charter, Statutes and Ordinances.

The Charter, first granted in 1884, sets out the purpose and powers of the University. The Statutes amplify the Charter and any changes to both the Charter and the Statutes are approved by the Privy Council on behalf of His Majesty the King.

Ordinances support the Charter and Statutes and are created and approved by the Council. Other regulations may be created and approved by Council or by other committees on delegated authority from the Council.
