The Board of Trustees is a central governing body of the Fachhochschule Dresden (FHD). In its structure and function, it is modeled on the “University Council” of public universities in the Free State of Saxony (in accordance with the Saxon Higher Education Freedom Act).
The Board of Trustees brings together distinguished representatives from public life, business, politics, academia, public administration, and professional associations. Members are appointed by the Rector for a term of three years upon recommendation of the Senate. In accordance with §3 of the FHD Constitution, the Rectorate is also a member of the Board of Trustees.
