Organisation

The board is the department’s highest decision-making body and determines the division of responsibilities between the board and the head of department. The board makes decisions on matters such as resources, educational plans, and guidelines for teaching and examinations.

The head of department leads and allocates the work and is responsible for the day-to-day management. This is done in collaboration with the management group.
