Please note that the reorganisation of the administrative centre at ST is still ongoing, which means that a final decision regarding names of subunits has not yet been reached. The internal organisation of the Rector’s Office is expected to be clarified by 1 April 2015, after which new subunit names will be announced.

The name of subunits in the administrative divisions can be found on the new organisational charts for the administration (In Danish. The English organisational charts will be made available as soon as possible): 

Administrative, All groups, All AU units, Aarhus University, Administrative
