Academic career at UW/H
Postdoctoral university lecturing qualification
The path to a university professorship
After successfully completing doctoral studies, the postdoctoral university lecturing qualification is the next step in an academic career at UW/H. While the doctorate is awarded on the basis of a scholarly thesis (dissertation) and an oral examination, the habilitation is an academic and professional qualification examination. As the highest academic qualification, it grants the right to teach and conduct research independently at a university (Facultas Docendi) and is usually also a prerequisite for obtaining a permanent, full professorship at a university.

Habilitation fees
For the use of the relevant committees in the context of submitting an application to initiate the respective procedure, the university charges a general processing fee of €250 for doctorates, habilitations, and apl. professorship procedures.
Within a habilitation procedure, all faculties charge external habilitation candidates a habilitation fee of €1,500.
The habilitation fee is due for payment upon submission of the habilitation documents to the relevant faculty.
To clarify the terminology: candidates for postdoctoral lecturing qualification who are employed full-time at UW/H or at an affiliated hospital are considered internal candidates for postdoctoral lecturing qualification. All others are considered external candidates.
Information on the CD-ROM service
As a rule, papers must also be submitted in electronic form. Electronic versions are handed in as 11 CD-ROMs. As the design of the CD-ROM is also subject to specific guidelines, Witten/Herdecke University offers a CD-ROM service.
We take care of
- the conversion of the file into PDF format,
- the production of the CD-ROM cover (front and back) according to the specifications of Witten/Herdecke University Library and
- the production of the CD label according to the specifications of the Witten/Herdecke University Library.
The fee for this service is 120 € (each additional CD 5 €).
