{{See also|Ancient university governance in Scotland}}
In Scotland, the principal is appointed by the [[university court]] or governing body of the university and will be chairman or president of the body of academics. In the case of the [[ancient universities of Scotland]], the principal is president of the [[academic senate]]. The principal also holds the title of vice-chancellor, but their powers with regard to this position extend only to the awarding of degrees, as both the vice-chancellor and chancellor are titular posts.
