Habilitation - Getting your Teaching Qualification
Are you are thinking about habilitation?
The prerequisite for awarding of a habilitation degree ‒ the qualification for a teaching career in higher education ‒ is proof of outstanding scientific or artistic qualifications and experience of teaching several times at recognised post-secondary educational institutions to demonstrate the teaching skills of the habilitation candidate.
Application
The application must be submitted to the dean's office along with all required documents. Please arrange a submission date with the responsible person at the Dean's Office.
- Information on the application for awarding of a habilitation degree
- Recommendation of the faculty board of the Faculty of Humanities for cumulative habilitations (March 16, 2023).
The submitted habilitation thesis must
- be conducted in a methodologically sound manner,
- contain new scientific results, and
