The Department of Physics, like any department of the University, is divided into Divisions.

Laboratories are under the authority of the Department or School. The operation of Laboratories is governed by internal regulations.

The Governing Bodies of each Division are the General Assembly and the Director. The General Assembly of the Division elects the Director of the Division for a one-year term, who coordinates the work of the Division within the framework of the decisions of the Assembly of the Department.
