  6. Carry out any other functions assigned by the higher governing bodies of the university or recognized by current regulations.

In order to ensure a more efficient and agile operation of the Faculty of Sciences, the Sections of Biology, Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry have been established. For the purposes of internal organization, it has been established that the assignment of the degrees under the academic responsibility of the Faculty is:

  • Biology Section: Degree in Biology
  • Physics Section: Degree in Physics
  • Mathematics Section: Degree in Mathematics
  • Chemistry Section: Degree in Chemistry and Degree in Environmental Sciences

Membership in the respective Sections is understood to include all teaching and research staff who teach in the degree programs affiliated with them, students enrolled in the corresponding programs, and administrative and service staff who perform their duties within them. In accordance with the Internal Regulations (RRI) of the center, each Section has autonomy to organize its internal operating procedures, without prejudice to the oversight powers stipulated in the RRI and attributed to the Faculty Board.
