Organisation
The work of the Department of Sociology is led by a departmental board that, among other things, settles the budget and decides on matters related to educational plans, course syllabi, course literature, job announcements and promotions. The board meets once a month every academic year.
The executive responsibility for the activities lies with the Head of Department, the Deputy Head of Department, and the Assistant Head of Department.
To support the Heads of Department, there is an advisory management group consisting of the Administrative Manager, the Director of Studies for Doctoral Education, the Director of Studies for Undergraduate and Master's Education, a subject representative for Sociology and a subject representative for Demography.
