Graduates' Council

Graduates' Council meets once a year as set out in the Graduates' Council Regulations made under Ordinance 20.

The Graduates' Council is the concrete manifestation of the principle of graduating into, and not from, a University. It has the power to make representations to the University Court on all matters affecting the well-being and prosperity of the University and it elects two members as Assessors to represent its interests on that body.

Graduates' Council Business Committee

The Business Committee deals with matters on behalf of the Council and reports to the Annual Meeting when Council formally receives the University's Annual Report and Annual Accounts. The meeting is organised to coincide with the annual 'Discovery' Lecture and it provides the ideal opportunity to return to the University, meet old friends and catch up with developments.
