Governance and structure
The University’s supreme constitutional body is Court which is akin in its nature and its role to the shareholders of a large public company. It is presided over by our Chancellor, Baroness Young of Old Scone.
Cranfield University Council is responsible for the strategic direction, approval of major developments and the receipt of regular reports from executive officers on the day to day operations of the University. The University’s ‘Chief Executive’, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Sir John O'Reilly is appointed by Council.
