Organisation and Structure
On Thursday 10 April 2008, HRH The Duke of Gloucester, was installed as the founding chancellor of the university in a ceremony at Worcester Cathedral. The duke officiates at degree ceremonies, attends major events (including the Duke of Gloucester Lecture Series) and promotes the University overseas. The College of Fellows was established in 2008 to bring together high-profile "ambassadors" for the University. New Fellows are appointed at the annual Graduation Ceremonies in Worcester Cathedral. The Board of Governors meets regularly and is composed of appointed governors, staff governors, student governors and co-opted governors from a wide range of business and community areas. An Executive Management Board meets weekly, and this is the primary decision making body of the institution.
The six faculties include, Institute of Education, Institute of Health and Society, Institute of Humanities and Creative Arts, Institute of Science and the Environment, Institute of Sport and Exercise Science, and the Worcester Business School. Each Academic Institute hosts an Academic Support Unit which assists both lecturers and students with administration issues directly relevant to the department.

Famous quotes containing the words organisation and/or structure:
“It is because the body is a machine that education is possible. Education is the formation of habits, a superinducing of an artificial organisation upon the natural organisation of the body.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
“Each structure and institution here was so primitive that you could at once refer it to its source; but our buildings commonly suggest neither their origin nor their purpose.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
