Like any large multinational organisation, the University has a complex system of
governance and many
organisational units. Its mission is articulated in its
strategic plans and much of its policy and administrative work is assisted by a number of
committees. The University's operations are determined by the
University of Queensland Act 1998 (pdf: 100K), the
Statutes at the University of Queensland and the
Senate Rules.
