Councils, Boards and Committees

At The Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences there are established a series of councils, boards and committees which help ensure that we conduct the best possible research, offer the best possible study programmes, and constitute the best possible workplace for the faculty staff.

These faculty-level councils, boards, and committees advise the Dean’s Office and the Faculty Management. In addition, advisory committees can be found at department level and at Faculty Services.
