Department Council

The Department Council is advisory to the Head of Department and is a forum for dialogue and discussion of the department's activities. The Council consists of representatives of teachers/researchers, administrative and technical staff, staff organisations as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students. The members of the Department Council are elected every six years. The Council meets about five times a year and is led by the Head of Department and Deputy Head of Department.

Committee for Education

The Committee for Education handles policy-related matters, including assignments from the Head of Department and the Department Council. The Committee for Education is responsible for the monitoring and quality assurance of all educational activities at the department.

Study Programme Council

At the Department of Chemistry and Molecular Biology, there are two Study Programme Councils: one for Chemistry and one for the Prescriptionist Programme. The Programme Co-ordinator leads the Study Program Council and reports to the Committee for Education.

Committee for Research and Research Education

The Committee for Research and Research Education is a preparatory and advisory organ for the Head of Department and the Department Council, discussing and preparing strategic questions regarding research and research education. On the agenda are matters such as research organisation and infrastructure, quality assessment of research education, recruitment strategies, nominations, etc. The Committee consists of the Heads of Divisions, the Directors of Infrastructures, Responsible for Research Education, and a Doctoral student representative. The Committee meets about four times a year and is led by the Assistant Head of Research (chair).

PhD Council

The PhD Council aims to improve the work and study situation at the department, disseminates important information to the department's doctoral students and organizes social events for the department's doctoral students.

The doctoral students are represented in almost every decision-making body at the department and the university, and have therefore great opportunities to influence.

Collaboration Council

The Collaboration Council works with the department's outreach activities and maintains contacts with schools, industries, the surrounding community and authorities.
