Editing Heidelberg University (section)

==Organization==

===Governance===
The [[Rector (academia)|Rectorate]] is the '[[executive (government)|executive body]]' of the university, headed by rector Prof. Dr. Frauke Melchior. The rectorate consists of the [[chancellor (education)|chancellor]], [[:de:Holger Schroeter|Holger Schroeter]], who is the head of the central administration and responsible for the university's budgeting, and three pro-rectors, who are responsible for international relations, teaching and communication, and research and structure respectively.

The [[Academic senate|Senate]] is the '[[legislative branch]]' of the university. The rector and the members of the rectorate are senators ''[[ex officio]]'', as are also the [[Dean (education)|deans]] of the faculties, as well as the medical and managing directors of the [[University Hospital Heidelberg|University Hospital]], and the university's [[Equal opportunity|equal opportunities officer]]. Another 20 senators are elected for four-year terms, within the following quotas: eight university professors; four academic staff; four delegates of the [[student body]]; and four employees of the university administration.

The [[University Council]] is the advisory board to the aforementioned entities and encompasses, among others, the former Israeli Ambassador to Germany [[Avi Primor]], as well as CEOs of German industries.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uni-heidelberg.de/einrichtungen/organe/index.html|title=Universitätsorgane und Funktionsträger|access-date=16 May 2008|work=Heidelberg University Homepage|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080420081519/http://www.uni-heidelberg.de/einrichtungen/organe/index.html|archive-date=20 April 2008}}</ref>

===Faculties===
After a 2003 structural reformation, the university consists of 13 [[Faculty (division)|faculties]], which in turn comprise several disciplines, departments, and institutes. As a consequence of the [[Bologna process]], most faculties now offer [[Bachelor's degree|Bachelor's]], [[Master's degree|Master's]], and [[Ph.D. degrees]] to comply with the new European degree standard. Notable exceptions are the undergraduate programs in law, medicine, [[dentistry]] and [[pharmacy]], from which students still graduate with the [[State Examination]], a central examination at Master's level held by the State of Baden-Württemberg.
