Quality management at faculty level
The Deans of Studies
The tasks of the deans of studies include the central concerns of studying and teaching within the faculty. At least one of the deans of studies is involved in every appointment procedure of the faculty as a voting member, in particular to ensure that the teaching competence of the applicants is taken into account in the decision-making process. A study coordinator is available to support the deans of studies.
