The faculties and schools are responsible for organising teaching and the academic, administrative and management processes involved in awarding undergraduate, master's, and postgraduate degrees. Faculties and schools are also in charge of ensuring the quality of teaching and student support.

Departments may be divided into different areas of knowledge and other more specialised units.
