Habilitation procedure at the Faculty of Civil Engineering

The habilitation is a post-doctoral qualification which allows a scholar to become a full professor. The purpose of the procedure is formally to demonstrate the qualification for autonomous research and academic work in the chosen field of expertise, and to gain the necessary teaching skills. 

The Bauhaus-Universität Weimar authorises the Faculty of Civil Engineering to confer the right to add “habil.” to the doctoral degree as follows:

• Dr.-Ing. habil.
• Dr. rer. nat. habil.

The habilitation regulations determine the admissions requirements and the entire habilitation procedure. The Habilitation Committee constituted by the Faculty Board is responsible for assessing written and oral performance, as well as for appraising pedagogical skills. On the basis of the recommendation of the Habilitation Committee, the Faculty Board decides on the habilitation.
