Rectorate
The Rectorate is the top managerial body of the university. It currently consists of the President as the Chairperson, as well as five Vice-Presidents. The office of Chancellor is currently vacant. The members of the Rectorate are elected by the University Elective Assembly, which consists of the members of the University Council and the Senate.
The management tasks include, in particular, strategic planning and development – including the range of courses offered, the research priorities and the university organization. The university development plan is based on planning principles approved by the Senate and takes into account the development plans of the departments.
The Rectorate works to ensure that the other bodies, committees and officials perform their duties and that the members and staff of the university fulfill their obligations. The Rectorate is obliged to provide information to the University Council and the Senate.
