The Faculty Board is the highest decision-making body in the Faculty of Business and Economics. It determines the faculty's policy on education, research and services while adhering to the framework of policy lines set out by the university and to the legal stipulations. The Faculty Board has 51 members, including members of the faculty's Executive Committee and representatives of the Tenured Academic Personnel (ZAP), Assistant Academic Personnel (AAP), Administrative and Technical Personnel (ATP), the executive dean of Antwerp Management School and students.

The Dean and Vice-Dean are appointed for a period of three years. The Dean chairs the Faculty Board and is represented by the Vice-Dean in case of absence. Together they oversee the faculty's day-to-day activities and the implementation of advice and decisions made by the Faculty Board, and they represent the Faculty of Business and Economics outside the university.

The Faculty and Antwerp Management School coordinate their teaching and research strategy together through a Joint Strategy Board. The Joint Strategy Board is composed of the dean and vice dean of general policy, the dean and managing director of AMS, the faculty director, the accreditation managers of the Faculty and AMS-programs.

The Joint Strategy Board has advisory authority to the Education Committee, Executive Board and Faculty Council of the Faculty of Business and Economics and to the AMS Board of Trustees and AMS Academic Council, on the organization and design of post-initial education in the Business and Economics domain.

The Executive Committee is composed of the Dean and Vice-Dean, the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Research Committee, the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Educational Committee, a representative of the Assistant Academic Personnel (AAP) and/or Non-Statutory Academic Personnel (BAP) or substitute, and a student representative or substitute.

> Who are the members of the Executive Committee?

An Educational Committee is chaired by the vice-dean of Education and is responsible for all of the faculty's bachelor’s and master’s programmes, with the exception of the PhD programme and doctoral theses, which are managed by the Research Committee and of the advanced master’s programmes and executive education, which are managed by the AMS Education Council. The Educational Committee develops goal-based, consistent programmes and aligns the multiple units involved in order to form an educational partnership.

> Who are the members of the Educational Committee?

One of the key tasks of the Research Committee is to prepare and execute policies. Policy preparation involves preparing and developing the faculty's research strategy while policy execution entails organising specific steps that result from policy decisions about research.
The task of attracting and following up PhD students is also part of the faculty's research activities.

> Who are the members of the Research Committee?

The departments are decentralised administrative units for well-defined disciplines which are responsible for providing, coordinating and integrating education, scientific research and academic services, along with the academic personnel who make up their staff, and for the tasks allocated to them by the faculty.

The Antwerp Management School (AMS) is the postgraduate and executive school in the business administration domain within the University of Antwerp. AMS is a special purpose engine of the Faculty of Business and Economics for all advanced Masters and executive education and is a strategic partner for lifelong learning focused on the business community.
