The Faculty Council (FBR) is the highest decision-making board responsible for matters concerning Faculty 07. Chaired by the Dean, it normally meets four times per semester, with an additional session during breaks if urgent decisions are required. Various committees provide recommendations to the Faculty Council.
Examination boards operate at institute level and serve as points of contact for exam-related questions and disputes.
You find the Gender Equality Officer and her team, as well as the Diversity-Team here.
The examination boards at the institute level are your point of contact in cases of doubt in exam-related issues. They offer guidance in unclear situations and handle complaints and appeals. You can also contact your responsible board if, for example, you require extended writing time during exams due to a health condition or impairment. Objections (such as those regarding grades) can also be submitted here within the deadline. – Please make sure to check first with your examination office to see whether a formal request to the board is required.
Please check the German website for the Examination Boards and contact persons.
In addition to the Specialised Committees, there are further bodies representing specific interests, including:
