Day-to-day academic operations are largely organised by the deans of studies, who also each chair a programme committee for the degree programme they oversee.

All information regarding the programme committees for the respective degree programmes within Faculty I can be found on the intranet.

Faculty Executive Board

The Faculty Executive Board – comprising the Dean and three Vice-Deans – governs the faculty. It determines the teaching responsibilities of the professors and is responsible, in particular, for the following tasks:

Setting up structural and development plans for the faculty
Deciding on the allocation of staff posts and budgetary resources assigned to the faculty
Proposing job descriptions for professorships
