As a central institution for advanced training, the Bundesakademie für Sicherheitspolitk (BAKS) / Federal Academy for Security Policy reports directly to the Federal Government. Chaired by the Federal Chancellor, the Board of Trustees decides on the basic orientation and the future development of the Federal Academy. In this context it is counselled by both the President and the Advisory Board of the Federal Academy for Security Policy. Organizationally, the latter must be considered an independent agency.

The President of the Federal Academy for Security Policy is appointed by the Federal President. The Vice President provides support and acts as his deputy. The Federal Foreign Office and the Federal Ministry of Defence take turns in nominating the president and vice president. Together with the Director / Chief of Staff, who is responsible for exercising operational command of the Academy, and the Head of Head of Faculty / Teaching and Training, the Head of International Cooperation and Expert Meetings and the Head of Communication they form the executive group of the Academy.
