Organisation

HKU is all about being given responsibility and taking responsibility, in every layer of the organisation. Our staff do so on the basis of their professionalism: as lecturers, researchers, support staff, managers or board members.

Room for initiative

HKU is all about being given responsibility and taking responsibility, in every layer of the organisation. Our staff do so on the basis of their professionalism: as lecturers, researchers, support staff, managers or board members.

We are a flat organisation with the fewest possible layers. The various tasks in education, research and support are clearly distributed, while giving plenty of scope for students and staff to take initiative and to develop. This takes place, of course, within the parameters set by the Executive Board.

Organisational structure

The organisation of HKU consists of nine schools and a supporting organisation.

  • Schools and professorships receive support from the location where they are housed.

    The HKU back office consists of an Executive Board Office and five departments:
    • Educational and Student Affairs (OSZ)
    • Facilities (Network and Information Services, Computer Services, Facilities and Housing, and Events)
    • Communication and Human Resource Management (HRM)
    • Finance, Quality & Control (FKC)
    • Education, Research and Innovation (OOI)

    Part of the Executive Board Office is formed by the Central Council of Representatives (CMR). This council is made up of HKU students and staff, who discuss policy, themes and developments at our university of the arts.

ANBI

HKU (University of the Arts Utrecht) is a public benefit organisation (ANBI). This status is given to an organisation if it has a 90% focus on public interest. HKU meets this requirement.
