Ethics Committee

The University Ethics Committee has delegated authority from Council and Senate to consider ethical questions arising from all aspects of the University’s business and to determine necessary actions.  The Committee oversees and monitors the University Ethics Code and how the Code and principles contained within it are embedded across the University.

The Committee considers the procedures that underpin our Ethics Code, cases that are referred to it for decision and ethical issues that might have policy implications for the University.

This Committee does not deal with student and staff ethics applications or research queries. Please note these are dealt with as part of the Committee for Ethics in Research via Research and Innovation Services.
