President's Office

Conducting with sound imagination

Every interaction requires good coordination. This is the responsibility of the Rectorate. Its areas of responsibility are:

  • The Rector heads the university and chairs the Rectorate and the Senate. He represents the university externally. He is responsible for the final decision on the appointment of professors and hires academic staff and lecturers.
  • The Vice-Rector for International Affairs and Artistic Practice deals with international cooperation, is responsible for artistic developments and represents the Rectorate in matters relating to university productions.
  • The Vice-Rector for Studies, Teaching and Research is responsible for issuing teaching assignments. He chairs the Examination Board and the Library Commission and represents the Rectorate on the Piano Procurement Commission.
  • The Chancellor manages the administration of the university and is responsible for the economic management of the university, real estate and legal matters.
  • Together, the Rectorate develops medium and long-term university development strategies, prepares the target and performance agreements with the Ministry, takes care of the budget and the allocation of funds to the university's departments and implements the decisions of the committees. The Rectorate meets weekly.
