The habilitation is the highest university examination and serves to formally establish scientific and pedagogical aptitude in a subject area (teaching qualification). The habilitation gives you the opportunity to independently perform research and teaching tasks after successfully completing your doctorate, as well as to qualify for a professorship under the academic supervision of a specialist mentor. The desired subject area must be represented by a professorship at the Faculty of Humanities and Cultural Studies.
Detailed information on the admission requirements and the procedure and process for a habilitation project can be found in the current Habilitation Regulations for the Faculty of Humanities and Cultural Studies at the University of Passau dated July 6, 2023, as amended by the amendment statute dated June 25, 2024 HabilO 2023).
Please clarify any questions regarding the content of your habilitation project directly with your supervisor. The Dean's Office is available to answer any administrative questions you may have about your habilitation.
