Career: HAW Pro­fes­sor

A professorship at a university of applied sciences (HAW) is an attractive career goal for female academics and career changers. But how does one become a HAW professor, and what does working at a HAW actually entail? Are the cultures at HAWs and universities different? What proportion of the job is teaching? How closely do you collaborate with students? To what extent is research possible, and to what extent can you freely pursue your own research topics?

We—a consortium of several institutions of higher education (Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Catholic University of Applied Sciences Mainz, Mainz University of Applied Sciences, Bingen University of Applied Sciences, and RheinMain University of Applied Sciences)—offer you the opportunity to find answers to these and many other questions through our diverse range of event formats.
