Structure

Rector of the University of Vienna is currently Georg Winckler. The University of Vienna is divided into several departments and centers. Under the new law, the University Medical School in 2004 spun off into the Medical University of Vienna, as well as before the economic studies were released into independence. Other faculties were also restructured, so the natural science faculty was divided into a number of small but specialized units.
