The divisional offices of the four academic divisions within the University support the work of divisional boards and their constituent faculties and departments; undertake much of the day-to-day work relating to planning and resource allocation, the administration of academic appointments, on-course graduate administration, and the detailed supervision of education and research. Their responsibilities cover budgeting and financial planning, educational provision, and academic policy across their divisions, with a particular role in monitoring and quality assurance.
GLAM, under the direction of the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Academic Resources & Information Systems), comprises the Bodleian Libraries, the four University museums and the Botanic Garden & Harcourt Arboretum. The collections embodied within these departments are an essential part of the University's wider nature and mission. They are part of its heritage as the country's oldest university and now form a resource of national and international importance for teaching, research and cultural life; they also make a major contribution to the University's outreach and access missions.
The Divisional Secretaries report to the Registrar.
