==Organisation and administration== The university is governed by a board consisting of 11 members: 6 members recruited outside the university form the majority of the board, 2 members are appointed by the scientific staff, 1 member is appointed by the administrative staff, and 2 members are appointed by the university students. The rector, the prorector and the director of the university are appointed by the university board. The rector in turn appoints directors of the different parts of the central administration and deans of the different faculties. The deans appoint heads of 50 departments. There is no faculty senate and faculty is not involved in the appointment of rector, deans, or department heads. Hence the university has no faculty governance, although there are elected Academic Boards at faculty level who advise the deans.<ref>{{cite web | url= http://bestyrelse.ku.dk/vedtaegt/ | title= Vedtægt for Københavns Universitet | date= 16 June 2008 | access-date= 8 November 2009 | archive-date= 28 February 2010 | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100228164136/http://bestyrelse.ku.dk/vedtaegt | url-status= live }}</ref> {{As of|2018}}, the governing body manages an annual budget of about [[Danish krone|DKK]] 8.9 billion.<ref name=Okonomi2018/> The university is organized into six faculties and about 100 departments and research centres.
