Chalmers is an aktiebolag with 100 shares à 1, 000 SEK, all of which is owned by a private foundation ( Chalmers University of Technology Foundation ) which appoints the university board and the president.

The foundation has its members appointed by the Swedish government ( 4 to 8 seats ), the departments appoints one member, the student union appoints one member and the president automatically gains one chair.

Each department is led by a department head, usually a member of the faculty of that department.

The faculty senate represents members of the faculty when decisions are taken.
