Administrative Bodies

Universities are managed by bodies elected on the basis of democratic principles and collective processes that cover all forms and all levels of teaching, research and administrative activity.

On the basis of the existing legal framework, the school is responsible for its policy in relation to the educational and research activity in the field of the specific discipline, while the department is responsible for the implementation of the main choices of the school in the daily academic activity.

• Department administrative bodies

Schools are divided into departments. The department coordinates the teaching of part of the subject area of the school. The administrative bodies of the department are the General Assembly and the Head of the Department.

• Student representation in university administrative bodies

The representatives of students in the university bodies are appointed for an annual term by the student union of each school, which functions either as a legal entity of private law or as a union of individuals (until the approval of its statutes). All students of a school can become members of a student union.
