Aalborg University’s academic environments are organised in departments. Each department is led by a head of department and is responsible for the research and research based teaching at AAU. The departments belong under the faculties, and some departments belong under several faculties (cross-faculty departments).
The table below provides an overview of all departments at AAU.
