University website
The University publishes a large amount of information on its public website, much of which is provided by staff based in Schools and Departments across the University.
Corporate Marketing is directly responsible for some areas of the site, such as the About the University section, key messages and news on the University home page, but most units manage their own sites using Contensis CMS.
Information Services unit is responsible for technical development, web applications and the technical architecture for storing and publishing web content.
The University website content
The University homepage is designed as a landing page, to channel visitors to more detailed areas of the website. Content on the home page is carefully controlled. The Home Page Banner (the large image) is reserved for major events, activities or news items promoting recruitment, research and global profile.
