Faculties and departments
Faculties and departments organise and run the University's educations. They handle, for example, study administration, facilities, and complaints Complaints concerning your education.
The departments are responsible for education and research. They offer educations (programmes and courses) in one or more subjects within their field of activity. A faculty organises several departments within related subjects. Faculties are central to ensuring and developing quality, as well as coordinating resources within each faculty's area of operation.
Who is responsible for your education affects your day-to-day studies. Faculties and departments handle, for example, study administration, facilities, and complaints related to the education. There is also a university-wide administration that deals with matters affecting all students, regardless of their education, such as GU cards, various study systems, and student health.
