Faculties
The four faculties and their deans
Coordinating research, teaching and study
The faculties coordinate research and teaching activities and the curricula within their academic disciplines. Each faculty is headed by the dean and his or her faculty administration staff – the Dean's Office. The Dean's Office provides a variety of services and is responsible for coordinating lectures and venues, doctoral examinations, postdoctoral habilitation procedures, professorial appointments, degree programme accreditation and the courses offered at the faculty.
Deans of studies
Each faculty has a dean of studies, whose job it is to monitor the quality of the study conditions. Working hand-in-hand with the central Academic Advice Service, each faculty has one or more programme advisers, who advise current and prospective students on the various courses offered and the subjects represented at their faculty.
Chairs and academic clusters
The faculties are composed of individual Chairs, which in turn may be clustered by subject area. In addition, the faculties have institutes which provide project-specific knowledge and undertake special research projects, which benefits the students enrolled at the University and businesses in the region.
