## How does the University work?

Oxford Brookes University has 11 schools contained within 2 faculties.

Responsibility for the day-to-day running of Oxford Brookes University rests with the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Helen Laville, and the Senior Leadership Team (SLT). The Chancellor is the ceremonial figurehead of the University, and the current Chancellor is Paterson Joseph. The Board of Governors leads the University strategically by determining the overall mission.
