University Management

The Rectorate consists of the Rector, the Chancellor and the Vice-Rectors. It decides on all matters that the law does not assign to another body.

The Rector is the public and internal representative of the University. The Rector is responsible for the orderly operation of the University and exercises authority over the premises. The Rector is the Chairperson of the Office of the Rector and is authorised to issue guidelines on the management of the University. The Rector also oversees the allocation of performance payments in consultation with the Deans of the University.

The Vice-Rector’s responsibilities are defined in the university’s statutes and regulations. The Vice-Rector works in close cooperation with the Office of the Rector.

A member of the Office of the Rector, the Chancellor is responsible for leading and managing the university administration and the activities of its service divisions. The Chancellor exercises budgetary powers and represents the Rector in their absence.

Furthermore, it is responsible for the involvement of the staff council (participation rights) as well as for the involvement of the central women’s representative according to the LGG.
