UAS7 International Roadshow

Within Germany, we regularly tour with our "UAS7 Roadshow". The roadshows are a format on sharing career opportunities at German universities of applied sciences, often centering on how to obtain Professorships. Additionally, the UAS7 North America office organized virtual information events on how international applicants can become professors at a university of applied sciences. 

The UAS7-International Roadshows presents professors from different fields of teaching and research who report from the job. Even UAS7 presidents of the universities are available to answer your questions. If you have never come into contact with this subject area before, this is an opportunity to gather initial information and get to know contact persons. For dates, please keep an eye out on our website, or email Patrizia Nobbe to get on the newsletter.  In the meantime, please check out the videos below (English language). We look forward to seeing you!
