Academic Senate

Faculty of Informatics

The Academic Senate is the official body of the University self-government, consisting of elected representatives from among staff and students. Thus, the Academic Senate of the Faculty of Informatics consists of the staff (8 members) and student chambers (4 members). The powers and duties of the Senate, defined in the Statute of the Faculty of Informatics, include:

approving the annual activity report and the annual report on the management of the Faculty, which are submitted by the Dean of the Faculty
approving the Dean's proposals on the conditions for admission to study in study programmes implemented at the Faculty
approval of the Dean's proposals on the amount of fees associated with studies
approval of the Dean's proposals for the appointment or dismissal of members of the Faculty's Scientific Board and Disciplinary Committee
the right to request an official statement from any member of the academic community

In addition to these powers, student senators have several informal opportunities: as representatives of the student community, they are well placed to discuss with the faculty administration, either when making their own proposals or when dealing with existing problems. Student senators also defend student interests, e.g. when a lecturer is suspected of acting in breach of the CBA.
