The University Council accompanies the University of Freiburg and assumes responsibility in strategic terms. It consists of eleven members, six of whom are external to the university and five internal, who are appointed by the Minister of Science.
The University Council decides, among other things, on structural and development planning and proposes measures that serve to build the profile and increase the performance and competitiveness of the university. Furthermore, it supervises the management of the rectorate and, together with the senate, elects the full-time members of the rectorate.
