Management

The responsibilities of the Board are defined through the Higher Education Act and the Higher Education Ordinance. The Vice-Chancellor is responsible for the daily management of business under the auspices of the Board. The Pro-Vice-Chancellor is the Vice-Chancellor's deputy. The university chancellery is headed by the University Director/Registrar.
 
Teaching and research at Halmstad University are organised on the basis of five schools.
In addition there is the Department for External Relations which co-ordinates outreach and co-operative ventures. The Chancellery and University library are departments in their own right.

In addition to the University board there are three overarching collegial bodies:

• the Education Committee which is responsible for and approves all decisions relating to undergraduate education and teaching
• the Board of Teacher Education with overarching responsibility for teaching and research in the School of Teacher Education
• the Faculty Board

These latter committees have the overall responsibility for the co-ordination of research and PhD research training together with advisory assistance and appointment of certain lecturer categories within their respective areas of jurisdiction.
