University authorities

The Senate consists of: Rector, Chancellor, Vice Chancellors and the representatives of the university's founder.
 
The Senate has an important role. It decides on strategic projects and the future of the DSW University. In addition,
it also:

• adopts a plan for research activities
• applies to the Rector for the creation of new programmes of study and gives its opinion if a programme is to be discontinued
• ensures the quality of curricula and defines in a resolution what skills a graduate should possess
• approves reports and statements
• uadopts study regulations
• sets admission rules and limits for degree programmes.

The Academic Board is made up of representatives of academic staff, students and doctoral students as well as coordinators of the academic disciplines taught at the university.

The tasks of this body include:

• conferring academic degrees in the discipline,
• conducting proceedings for the award of doctoral degrees and post-doctoral degrees,
• and giving opinions on regulations and other legal acts.

The Council is made up of the Rector, the Chancellor, the Vice Chancellors, the Dean and the Chief Financial Officer.  Its most important task is to ensure the proper functioning of the university in terms of its operational, financial and marketing activities.
 

The Students' Union is a student-led organisation. It represents them in meetings with university authorities, proposes projects that are important to students, requests changes to regulations concerning students and, above all, organises interesting events, exhibitions and meetings.

Being part of the Students' Union is an excellent opportunity to gain experience in teamwork and to test your mentoring and organisational skills already during your studies.
