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.
