The role of the Advisory Board is to assist the School of Biological Sciences (Faculty of Environmental and Life Sciences) to ensure the success in education, research and enterprise programmes to deliver impact locally and globally. The Board does not play a formal role in the governance structures of the University. The Board comprises individuals with appropriate and complementary expertise, experience and networks who provide advice, where appropriate, on:

1. The School research and enterprise strategic plan and its development and alignment to the University Strategy and wider context.
2. The School education strategic plan for both undergraduates and postgraduates and alignment to the University Strategy and wider context.
3. The recruitment, retention and development of a diverse and globally engaged staff community.
4. The progression of students after graduation and the creation of an engaged alumni community.
5. The Board will monitor progress against and advise on interventions to achieve planned targets and KPIs which are aligned to the University Strategy.
