The faculty management team consists of the dean, the vice-deans, the heads of the faculty's eight largest units as well as the administrative management.

The faculty management team makes decisions about the overall direction for the faculty. In collaboration with the boards of studies, the directors of studies are responsible for the practical organisation of degree programmes.

The Dean’s Secretariat performs strategic analyses as well as development and quality tasks for the dean and the vice-deans, and it provides secretariat assistance for management including press and communication.
