Academic HR Development

PRO4-HSRW

Overview

Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences (HSRW) aims to promote and support its members throughout the whole “HSRW Life Cycle”: from their university degree to becoming a professor. However, to enable multiple career perspectives, academic HR development needs to be flexible.

The prerequisites for becoming a professor at a University of Applied Sciences in North-Rhine Westphalia are clearly defined. After finishing a master’s degree, a candidate needs to have experience in scientific research, academic teaching and in an organisation outside of academia. Furthermore, various other competencies and soft skills are needed to be successful in the academic field.

Therefore, the HSRW Life Cycle consists of 3 academic phases

  1. Qualification phase towards a PhD
  2. PostDoc phase towards the appointment as a professor
  3. Professorship until retirement

In each phase, there are critical points where it’s crucial to have individual support at hand for one’s personal development.
The team of academic HR Development provides systematic concepts for the development of scientific staff and professors.
