Bodies and Committees

The University Supervisory Board and the Senate are the central bodies of the University of Mannheim.

The University Supervisory Board is the university’s statutory supervisory body, comparable to the supervisory board of a company, and is responsible for the development of the higher education institution.

The Senate decides on all academic affairs of fundamental significance for research, teaching, study and continuing education, unless another central body or the schools are responsible for these areas by law.

Committees and councils advise and support both bodies.


Schedule of meetings

The schedule of meetings of the individual university bodies in the upcoming semesters is available here.
