Referat
One possible translation of the German term “Referat” is presentation and we all know what that is from our school days: a talk on a specific topic in front of the class, for which you get a grade.
However, the term has another meaning at university. Here “Referat” also refers to a specific area of responsibility or task within university administration.
At FAU, for example, we have the Referat für Internationale Angelegenheiten (International Affairs ) or the Referat für Qualitätsmanagement, Studienprogrammentwicklung und Rechtsangelegenheiten (Legal Affairs and Academic Quality Management).
