Information about the Department Councils
For organizing research and education, Hanken has four departments that are active at both campuses. A department is led by a prefect and a department council, where the prefect is the chairman. The department council can be seen as the shareholders’ meeting for the department.
The Department Councils’ tasks consist of:
– developing and evaluating the department’s activities and following up the results in the department
– making suggestions for the curriculum
– deciding on the budget for the department
– making suggestions on which personnel to hire
– on request, submitting opinions regarding education and research related matters
– making sure that the quality-assuring processes are being followed.
– systematically processing feedback from the students, following up that the students achieve the teaching goals of the programs and based on this information suggesting or carrying out required changes.
A Department Council has nine members in addition to the prefect. Three members represent the professors, three members represent the other teachers and researchers at the department and three members represent students at the department. Every member of the council has a substitute. Every major taught at the department shall be represented in the Department Council.
