Senate
The Senate is the highest university board in which decisions are made that affect the whole University and all its students. The president sits on the board, together with the chancellor and the representative for equal opportunities. Elected members of the academic and support staff, as well as students, are also on the board.
The Senate makes decisions in matters of research, teaching, studying and advanced training insofar as these are not legally the responsibility of another body. The Senate sits four times per semester.
