Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between tenure-track and Habilitation?+

Tenure-track is a time-limited appointment (typically 5–6 years) that leads to a permanent professorship upon successful evaluation. The Habilitation is a traditional German-speaking qualification involving a second major research work beyond the PhD. Many European universities now offer tenure-track as an alternative, though the Habilitation remains valued in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
