Education
What can be organised in a decentralized way is invested in the Education Organisation. In the Education Board organisation, there is a shared responsibility between the Law School Board (especially the Vice-Dean of Education) on the one hand and the academic directors on the other hand.
Academic directors
Each program has an academic director. Under the leadership of the Vice Dean of Education, he or she is responsible for the design and quality assurance of the study programme and, among other things, for the coherence of the programme and the provision of information.
Program committees
In addition, there are the program committees that advise the Law School Board. The Examination Board has its own responsibility with regard to examinations and all forms of testing known to the Law School.
