All head of departments are required to exercise leadership, demonstrate vision, and empower others in order to deliver the agreed departmental strategy within the faculty. It is recognized that the methods by which head of departments carry out their duties to the extent of delegation, depend on factors like the size and catchment of the departments and the personal approach of the individual head of department. They have a mandate to advance and promote knowledge, critical thinking and intellectual independence in order to enhance the understanding, development and well being of individuals and society. This is achieved by building on foundations of broad research and teaching capabilities, unique learning environments as well as international links.

In order to achieve academic excellence, head of departments conduct department meetings where HoDs train the teachers, and discuss on the problems faced by teachers in day to day academic activities. This academic session is scheduled to have 6 department meetings.
