Universities Scotland essentially works for the Principals or Directors of Scotland’s 20 higher education institutions. However, Universities Scotland seeks to draw upon expertise where it exists in the sector and will therefore liaise with individuals from the senior management team across all institutions where appropriate.
University Principals elect a Convener and Vice Convener of Universities Scotland who serve for a two-year period. The Convener chairs both the Universities Scotland Committee and Executive Committee as well as undertaking other responsibilities. The current Convener is Professor Anton Muscatelli, Principal of Heriot-Watt University. The Vice Convener is Professor Bernard King, Principal of the University of Abertay Dundee.
The work of Universities Scotland is split into six broad policy areas:
Learning and Teaching
Research and Commercialisation
Resources & Administration
Widening Access and Equal Opportunities
Internationalisation
Public Affairs
Universities Scotland work is informed and guided by a series of committees and advisory groups. These committees broadly correlate to the policy areas. All matters of policy are passed through the policy committees and advisory groups to the Executive Committee, which is comprised of the Convener, Vice Convener and Conveners of all standing Committees. The Executive Committee is a smaller, representative group of Principals that advises the full Universities Scotland Committee. All member institutions are represented at the Universities Scotland Main Committee which also meets three/four times per year.
