Administration

In May 2008, an additional body was set up: the University Council. It has five internal and five external members drawn from science, politics, and business. Its responsibilities include electing the members of the Rector's Office, addressing issues in higher education development, advising the Rector's Office, and supervising the management of the university.

The Rector's Office is composed of the rector, the prorectors, and the chancellor. As the formal head of the university, it is responsible for all university affairs apart from those regulated by the Federal University and College Act or the German constitution.
