Appointment Procedures

Information about Appointment Procedures at Faculty V – Mechanical Engineering and Transport Systems

Appointment procedures consist of a number of stages and are based on legal provisions. The most important legal regulations are the Berlin State Higher Education Act (Berliner Hochschulgesetz - BerlHG) as well as TU Berlin internal regulations such as the Appointment Regulations (Berufungsordnung), Tenure Track Regulations, relevant guidelines, the State Equal Opportunities Act (Landesgleichstellungsgesetz) and Social Code (Sozialgesetzbuch IX).

The appointment committee supports the entire procedure at our faculty including establishing an appointment committee in the Faculty Board, initiating job postings and advising the appointment committee up to the awarding of the appointment.

The appointment of professors and the procedures involved are very important for the overall development of the University. Find out more about our appointment procedures.
