Tasks of the departments
In order to be able to carry out the HTU's many tasks, departments have been set up to support the Chair, making them part of the Higher Education Institution Representations (Hochschulvertretung, HV). These units cover defined areas of responsibility and relieve the Chair. All departments work together with the Chair and are bound by the latter's instructions. You can find detailed information about the individual departments here.
