Welcome
Due to the increasing number of students at Universities of Applied Sciences (Hochschule für angewandte Wissenschaften – HAW), the universities’ demand for more skilled applicants is rising as well.
At the same time, it has become visible that the degree of familiarity of this career path is still relatively low.
For this reason, the University of Kassel as well as the Hochschule Fulda decided to launch a ten months lasting further qualification programme, which is financed by funds of the BMBF (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung). The aim of “quali.prof@HAW” consists of increasing the interest of Postdocs and PhDs in their completion phase, as well as preparing and qualifying them for obtaining and leading a professorship for Applied Sciences in a structured way.
Due to the cooperation the events will take place in Fulda as well as in Kassel. The participants will therefore visit events at both facility locations.
Structure and content of the program
The program consists of four modules and the supporting program.
The supporting program includes the kick-off event and a final event.
In total, the further qualification comprises around 95 hours of events as well as three to four dates for individual coaching sessions. The events mainly take place during the week, but some also take place at weekends.
The demands placed on managers in universities differ in many areas from those outside the university context. For this reason, participants in this module examine their role as a manager and the special features of leadership in the university context, reflect on their leadership skills and gain an overview of different leadership styles.
At the same time, they gain an insight into the areas of employment law, personnel planning and managing their own budget.
This module takes place partly in Fulda and partly in Kassel.
Over the course of three to four appointments, participants discuss their professional goals in a 1:1 coaching session and identify the next milestones on the path to a HAW professorship. Since the content of the coaching is developed individually together, topics such as strategies for dealing with stress in a way that promotes health, self-management and the compatibility of family and career (etc.) are also conceivable.
In this module, participants gain knowledge about the structures of academic self-administration and committee work, gain an insight into current developments and challenges in the higher education landscape and learn about the specifics of the job profile of UAS professorships (among other things) through expert discussions with professors at a UAS.
In addition, participants gain knowledge about the process of applying for a HAW professorship (i.e. the appointment procedure), which is relevant and useful both in the medium term for their own application for a professorship and in the long term for participation in an appointment committee.
This module takes place partly in Fulda and partly in Kassel.
In this module, participants focus on project management. The content covers the planning and initiation of projects, the acquisition of (third-party) funds, project management (such as project phases, milestones and the schedule), project controlling and the visualization and presentation of results.
This module takes place exclusively in Kassel.
