Organisation of the University
The executive board, the advisory board and the senate are the governing bodies responsible for the organisation and further development of research and teaching at Paderborn University. Our executive board staff units are specialised units with subject-specific tasks. The different teaching and research areas of Paderborn University are organised in a total of five faculties.
Further information and contact persons can be found on the respective department pages and in the organisation chart.
Scientific Institutions
At Paderborn University, we bundle our research in five cross-faculty key research areas. These are characterised by an outstanding infrastructure, excellent minds and numerous projects. 15 interdisciplinary research institutions also serve as places for collaboration across disciplines.
Central Services Units
Contact Persons and Committees
Many people shape the university. They take on tasks as central representatives, authorised representatives or contact and advice points. All status groups are represented in the university committees, where they contribute their views and thus help to form opinions and make decisions.
