Requirements for appointment

Two categories of management staff are envisaged in the only university in the German-speaking Community:

The heads of department report to the director.

Together, the director and the department heads form the management of the university. They are responsible for the daily administration and organisation of the university in the administrative, technical, financial and pedagogical fields.
