The Faculty Council is made up of elected members from the group of professors, representatives of academic staff, representatives of non-academic staff and students. It elects the Dean and other members of the Dean's team (Vice-Deans) from among the professors for a fixed term (two years).

The task of the Faculty Council is to advise and decide on the use of the faculty's resources (e.g. financial and material resources) and on fundamental questions of research and teaching (including study and examination regulations).
