Rectorate
Activate potential, exploit synergies, shape discourses.
The Rectorate works in close cooperation with all areas of the university.
The Rectorate is responsible for structural and developmental planning, construction planning and development, decisions on the allocation of property and rooms, the calculation of budget estimates (and their approval), the allocation of positions and funds made available to the university, and human resources development.
The Rectorate carries out the resolutions of the Senate and the University Council. The rector represents the university in the public and is the chairperson of the Rectorate, the Senate, and its committees. The head of administration is responsible for the university budget and is in charge of the entire administration.
