The administration consists of six departments. Four of the administration's departments are primarily responsible for the cultural committee's own operations: Uppsala Library, Uppsala Leisure, Uppsala Art and Cultural Heritage, and Uppsala Culture School. Two departments within the administration are offices that work directly on behalf of the administration's management and handle matters for the cultural committee and the sports and leisure committee.
