They can also have their own accounting and cost center. The status of internal organisational units is further regulated by an internal act adopted by the Management Board. The Faculty can establish as its organisational units departments, sections, institutes and other units such as a library, an information and documentation centre or a center for distance learning.

The organisational unit has bodies, which are formed according to the nature of its activities and are responsible for its managerial and professional leadership.
Financial resources for the conduct of educational, counselling, research or other faculty activities conducted in the organisational unit can be administered separately so that the financial accounts are unique to the individual organisational unit, its study programme or project and to each of its activities.
The organisational unit is established or terminated by a decision of the faculty's Management Board. When establishing new organisational units, the activities of the new organisational unit, as well as its internal structure and authority in legal relations, must be specified.
