Academic Divisions
The administrative structure for students and faculty at KAUST consists of three Academic Divisions:
- Chemical and Life Sciences and Engineering
- Mathematical and Computer Sciences and Engineering
- Physical Sciences and Engineering
Academic Divisions are responsible for educational activities and degree-granting programs.
Each Division operates under the executive direction of a Dean. The Deans are responsible for recommending academic salaries and promotions, setting the Division's instructional schedule and teaching assignments, managing the faculty baseline research enterprise and managing the Division budget and degree programs.
As members of an Academic Division, the faculty teach graduate courses, supervise M.S. and Ph.D. candidates, and participate in Boards of Study that set the program requirements and standards for the degrees KAUST offers.
