Information for students, faculty and staff regarding COVID-19. (Updated: 1 July 2020)
Most of the education and research at the University takes place at our departments.
Departments carry out education as well as research within one or several related issues. The department is the primary work place, not just for students, teachers and researchers, but also for other professionals such as administrators, janitors, technicians and instrument makers. The department is normally led by a departmental board where at least two students are members. The head of every department has the title head of department (in Swedish: prefekt).
