According to the Higher Education Act of the state of Saxony-Anhalt (Section 36 (3)), the appointment committee consists of

• five professors, one of whom is the chairperson,
• a further professor from another university,
• two members of academic staff,
• two students and
• the Gender Equality Representative of the Department.

The topic for the trial course will be announced to the candidates with the invitation. As is usual at universities of applied sciences, an interactive, didactically coherent class is expected. A purely technical lecture does not meet these requirements.

The appointment committee and students will take part in the trial course and their credits will be included in the appointment decision. This is a public university event.

All competitors will receive a negative notification as soon as the appointment has been accepted by the selected candidate. Before that, you can find out the status of the appointment procedure directly on the appointment monitor on the website.
