Vice deans
A teacher with a scientific-teaching rank may be elected vice dean. The vice dean’s term of office lasts three years. The vice dean’s term of office is not limited to two consecutive terms, as in the election of the dean, but the same person can be re-elected. Vice deans are appointed by the Faculty Council on the proposal of the dean. Each vice dean is in charge of their scope of work. The dean gives authority to one of the vice deans (deputy) to replace him in absentia.
