Kathmandu University is an independent, not for profit, non-government public institution which was created through private initiative. It is being developed as an institution of higher learning dedicated to maintain high standards of academic excellence.
Kathmandu University is governed by policies laid down by the University's Senate, which is the apex body. The Senate has the Prime Minister as its Chairperson. Representatives from Parliament and Industry, Mayor's of Banepa and Dhulikhel Municipalities, academics, donors, concerned government officials, Vice Chacellor, Registrar and Deans of the University, faculty and student representatives and librarian are the members of the senate.

The Executive Council headed by the Vice Chancellor is responsible for carrying out the policy decisions taken by the Senate. A Board of Trustees assists the Executive Council, providing continuity in decision making over a period of time.
The final authority for approving the educational and academic programs rests with the Academic Council over a period of time.

Academic Council functions as a focal body in matters of educational and academic concerns. This body determines the quality of study and teaching, curriculum matters, the standard and types of examinations, methods of evaluations, teching materials, number and qualification for the admission of students. Its primary responsibility is to safeguard the overall quality of education at Kathmandu University.

The University, in line with its mission and policy, operates by setting of Schools of different faculty, each functioning autonomously under the guidance of the university. Each School has a faculty board to function under the supervision of the Academic Council. The Faculty Board of each School is responsible for approving its educational and academic programs. There are different subject committiees under the faculty board to recommend the curriculum of the programs and the changes.

The final authority for approving the educational and academic programs rests with the Academic Council.

The University operates through its six Schools of Science, Engineering, Management, Arts, Education, and Medical Sciences.

In the context of establishing Kathmandu University, adequate legal provision has been made to authorise the University to formulate its own rules and regulations, in relation to organisational, administrative, personal and academic matters.

Provisions have also been made for the university to grant affiliation to other educational institutions.
