Habilitation regulations (15.04.2019)

Notes on habilitation at the Faculty of Business and Economics
 

• The faculty tries to constructively supervise postdocs on their way to their postdoctoral qualification. Those planning to do their postdoctoral degree in the Faculty of Business and Economics should inform the faculty as early as possible about it. Article 5 of the Habilitation Regulations as of 15 April 2019 stipulates that a notification should be made at the “earliest possible time at least one year before the scheduled submission”.

• The notification takes place before the professors of the faculty. In a short presentation of approximately 10 minutes, the research development and the focal points of the research should be outlined. Upon proposal of the postdoc candidate, the faculty also determines a supervisory board that typically consists of three professors of the faculty who will provide advisory support to the postdoc candidate. One of the mentors should be from a different group of experts.

• §11 of the Habilitation Regulations of 15.04.2019 requires continuing education in higher education didactics, which should be planned into the habilitation phase at an early stage. The Center for Continuing Education of the TUD offers a wide range of courses for the professionalization of teaching. Proof of participation in further training measures in higher education didactics can also be provided in other ways (e.g. offers from the faculty or external providers).
