Editing Uppsala University (section)

==Administration and organisation==
===Central administration===
The governing board of the university is the [[wikt:consistory|consistory]], with representatives of the faculties as well as members representing the students and non-academic employees (three professors and three students), and ten university outsiders appointed by the [[Swedish government]]. All these members in the consistory have the right to vote.

The unions active at the university also have three representatives in the consistory; these members have the right to speak but not any right to vote.

Since the last reorganization in 1999, the university has had a separate body called the ''academic senate'', which is a wider, but mostly advisory group representing teaching staff/researchers and students. The executive head of the university is the ''rector magnificus'', whose deputy is the ''prorector''. There are (also since 1999) three vice rectors, each heading one of the three "disciplinary domains" (Arts and Social Sciences, Medicine and Pharmacy, and Science and Technology) into which the nine faculties are divided. Each faculty has a faculty board and is headed by a [[dean (education)|dean]] (''dekanus''). The position of dean is held part-time by a professor of the faculty.

===Faculties===
Through the division of faculties and the addition of a previously independent school of Pharmacy as a new faculty, the traditional four-faculty organization of European universities has evolved into the present nine faculties. The disciplinary domains and their faculties are as depicted below.<ref>{{url|https://www.uu.se/en/disciplinary-domain}}</ref><ref>{{url|https://www.uu.se/en/faculty}}</ref>

====Disciplinary Domain of Arts and Social Sciences====

* {{ill|Uppsala University Faculty of Law|lt=Faculty of Law|sv|Juridiska fakulteten vid Uppsala universitet}} (''Juridiska fakulteten'') is the oldest law faculty in the Nordic countries and existed prior to the university's founding in 1477. The activities of the faculty include a wide range of research areas and specializations. This Faculty has one department: the Department of Law.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.jur.uu.se/Omfakulteten/tabid/4001/language/en-US/Default.aspx|title=Om fakulteten|last=universitet|first=Juridiska fakulteten {{!}} Uppsala|website=jur.uu.se|access-date=2016-11-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161104205635/http://www.jur.uu.se/Omfakulteten/tabid/4001/language/en-US/Default.aspx|archive-date=4 November 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>
* {{ill|Uppsala University Faculty of Educational Sciences|lt=Faculty of Educational Sciences|sv|Utbildningsvetenskapliga fakulteten vid Uppsala universitet}} (formerly the Department of Education, and was raised to the status of a faculty in its own right in 2002)

====Disciplinary Domain of Medicine and Pharmacy====
* [[Uppsala University Faculty of Medicine|Faculty of Medicine]]
* {{ill|Uppsala University Faculty of Pharmacy|lt=Faculty of Pharmacy|sv|Farmaceutiska fakulteten, Uppsala universitet}}, originally an independent "royal institute" in Stockholm, which was moved to Uppsala and incorporated with the university between 1968 and 1972.

====Disciplinary Domain of Science and Technology====
* {{ill|Uppsala University Faculty of Science and Technology|lt=Faculty of Science and Technology|sv|Teknisk-naturvetenskapliga fakulteten vid Uppsala universitet}}: The engineering programs have since 1982 been marketed as the ''Uppsala School of Engineering'' (''Uppsala Tekniska Högskola''). This has however never been a separate institution. Still, only a unit within the Faculty of Science and Technology and the use of the term has been phased out after the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences was renamed the Faculty of Sciences and Technology in the 1990s.

====Other====
Uppsala University also hosts the [[Forum for South Asia Studies]], a collaborative academic effort by its six faculties: Theology, Law, History and Philosophy, Social Sciences, Languages, and Educational Sciences. The Forum aims to facilitate and promote research and education related to the [[South Asia]]n countries: [[India]], [[Pakistan]], [[Sri Lanka]], [[Nepal]], [[Bangladesh]], [[Maldives]] and [[Afghanistan]], on the national and international level, with [[Ferdinando Sardella]], Faculty of Theology, serving as the Forum's director.<ref name=FSAS>{{cite web|title=Forum for South Asia Studies|url=http://www.fsas.uu.se/FSAS/|work=Uppsala Universitet|access-date=21 January 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140202093817/http://www.fsas.uu.se/FSAS/|archive-date=2 February 2014}}</ref>

===University Library===
{{Main|Uppsala University Library}}
[[File:Codex Argentus.jpg|thumb|Codex Argentus on display at Uppsala University Library]]
The university library holds about 5.25 million volumes of books and periodicals (131,293 shelf meters), 61,959 manuscripts, 7,133 music prints, and 345,734 maps and other graphic documents. The holdings of the collection of manuscripts and music include, among other things, the Gothic Bible manuscript [[Codex Argenteus]].

[[File:Carolina Rediviva Närbild.jpg|thumb|The [[Carolina Rediviva]], the main building of the university library, designed by Carl Fredrik Sundvall and completed in 1841.]]
The most widely recognized building of the [[university library]] is [[Carolina Rediviva]], the "revived Carolina," thus named in reference to ''Academia Carolina'' (see illustration), which held the university library from the earliest times until 1691, when it was moved to the upper floor of Gustavianum, where it miraculously survived the great city fire of 1702. In the mid-18th century, there were plans to move it back to Academia Carolina or a new building in the same spot. The building was demolished in 1778 to make place for a new library, but this was never built and the area next to the cathedral where it stood is today a lawn. The present Carolina Rediviva was built in a different place and completed in 1841.

The present university library system comprises 19 branches, including the one in the Carolina building.

===Uppsala University Hospital===
{{Main|Uppsala University Hospital}}
The Uppsala Academic Hospital or ''Akademiska sjukhuset'', which functions as a teaching hospital for the Faculty of Medicine and the Nursing School, is run by the Uppsala County Council in cooperation with the university. {{As of|2003}}, the hospital had 7,719 employees and {{As of|2004|lc=on}} 1,079 places for patients.

The university hospital is actually older than the university, as it goes back to the earliest hospital, founded in Uppsala in 1302, and much later merged with the university clinic. This was used for 400 years until the great fire of 1702 which destroyed large parts of central Uppsala. A new hospital, which later became the Uppsala county hospital, was built in its place but was moved out of the town in 1811.

The first clinic with the specific intention to facilitate the practical education of medical students was the ''Nosocomium Academicum'', founded in 1708 and located at the Oxenstierna Palace at Riddartorget beside the cathedral (see illustration above). The building (the former residence of the president of the Royal Chancellery [[Bengt Gabrielsson Oxenstierna]]) today houses the Faculty of Law.

The present ''Akademiska sjukhuset'' was founded in 1850 as an organizational merger of the county hospital and the university clinic, and a new building was inaugurated in 1867 on the hill below [[Uppsala Castle]] to the southeast. From this building, which is still in use, the present hospital complex has grown.

===The Svedberg Laboratory===
