Professorship

Over the next few years, many new professorships will be filled at Ostfalia and numerous other universities of applied sciences (HAW).

However, very well-qualified young academics initially associate the job of professor with the university.

Yet we at HAW offer a job with the best prospects. After all, studying does not always mean university. Almost half of all students are enrolled at a UAS. This practice-oriented type of university is becoming increasingly popular.

The requirements profile for our professors differs fundamentally from that of universities. The career paths to a HAW professorship are as varied as the job advertisements.

If you are unsure whether you fulfil the requirements, please take the opportunity to clarify the situation by talking to the appointment officers before applying. We see open dialogue with interested parties as an important orientation aid and not a selection criterion.
