Faculty Council

The Faculty Council counts seven elected members from the group of university lecturers and two elected members each from the students, the academic mid-level staff and the technical and administrative staff. These members with a voting right are organised in status groups. In an advisory capacity, one member each of the decentralised Equal Opportunities Officer and the doctoral candidates' representation also have a seat.
The Faculty Council is chaired by the Dean or the Dean's representative in office.

Organisation

According to the faculty council's regulations, the members meet at least once a month during the lecture period in a meeting that is open to the public. It can exclude the public for individual agenda items and allow guests to speak.

Personnel and personal examination matters must be dealt with in closed session.
