Organisation

The Dean has been given a mandate by the Executive Board for the management and administration of the faculty. The Dean carries out the resultant duties in collegial consultation with the Faculty Board, which is chaired by the Dean. The Faculty Board is in charge of the Faculty’s strategy and its everyday operations. The Faculty Board is comprised of three members. Its meetings always take place in the presence of the managing director and the student-advisor and student auditor.

The board can be contacted via the following secretariat:

The Faculty Council represents the interests of students and staff at the faculty. Please check the Faculty Regulations (PDF) for the Faculty Council’s tasks and powers. The Faculty Council has the right to advise the Faculty Board on all Faculty matters, and the Faculty Board is obliged to respond. The Faculty Board is also obliged to inform the Faculty Council on matters of policy, such as quality assurance, staff policy, the strategic programme and any matters relating to education and research. The Faculty Council has the right of consent with regard to certain key topics – including the Faculty regulations and the annual budget – which implies that the Faculty Board cannot implement policy without the Council’s consent.

The Faculty Council consists of representatives of the academic staff, the administrative and support staff, and students. They are elected by and from their own sections for a period of two years, with the exception of students, who are elected for one year only. The members of the Faculty Council convene together with the Faculty Board about once every four weeks on Wednesday afternoon. These meetings are open to all Faculty staff and students, who can attend these meetings as auditors.
