About the faculties and departments
Which department (and faculty) that is responsible for your education affects your day-to-day studies, as they handle study administration, facilities, and complaints related to the education.
Departments are responsible for education and research. They offer educations (programmes and courses) in one or more subjects within their field of activity. A faculty organises several departments in related subjects, coordinating resources within their area of operation, and plays a central role in ensuring and developing quality.
(There is also a university-wide administration that handles matters affecting all students, regardless of their education, such as GU cards, various study systems, and student health.)
