Career Centre for Professorial Development

Welcome to the Career Centre for Professorial Development

We offer information and services concerning your professorial career at TH Wildau or another Technical University of Applied Sciences (UAS, German: TH/FH).

UAS are a type of university that is very popular in the German-speaking countries. In comparison to regular universities, research at the UAS is particularly practice-oriented. Professors cooperate closely with partners from industry and business to find solutions to urgent application-related questions. Unfortunately, the UAS type of university is still little known outside of German-speaking countries, which is why only few international applications arrive for advertised professorships. Yet there are many international candidates who are qualified for a career as a UAS-professor. We would like to attract international professors and support people at different career stages.

The Career Centre for Professorial Development is committed to the principle of diversity and consciously promotes the diverse career paths to a TH professorship. Since the Career Centre is working against the Germany-wide shortage of experts at Technical Universities of Applied Sciences, it is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research within the framework of the "FH Personal" programme.
