What is the Faculty Council?

The faculty council is, after the university council, the second-highest representative body within the university and serves as an intermediary between the various departments of the respective faculty. The council has the right to give consent and advice on a wide range of matters concerning the faculty. In addition, the council represents both students and staff, and acts as a sounding board for the faculty board.

The faculty councils are composed of staff members and students. Staff members are elected for a two-year term, while student members are elected for one year.
