Universities of Applied Sciences (HAW) combine research with direct practical relevance and focus on application-oriented teaching. To continue fulfilling this role in the future, they need qualified professors who combine academic expertise with professional experience. However, the path to a professorship at a HAW is often not very visible and lacks structure – which deters many talented individuals from even considering it.

Science Careers at HTWK Leipzig provides targeted information about the path into applied sciences and supports interested individuals with concrete offers. The initiative makes career paths more predictable and encourages qualified individuals interested in science to pursue this direction. Individual mentoring, targeted training opportunities, and strong networks provide support on the way to a professorship – practice-oriented, reliable, and with a focus on long-term development. This creates an environment in which researchers can fully realize their potential.

We offer a wide range of measures for everyone seeking their path in academia: from mentoring programs to employer branding and further qualification, to networking formats with science and practice. All offers are designed to provide orientation, foster development, and actively pave the way for professional careers.
