The Qualification Program

CareerDesign@TUM is committed to equal opportunities. Accordingly, it is characterized by its modular structure and a three-level qualification model that can be flexibly arranged. This makes it easier for employees to reconcile their personal life situation (e.g. family commitments, part-time employment, etc.) with their professional interests and ambitions.

CareerDesign@TUM is a structured continuing education program with three qualification levels in each track: an entry level, a second level for individuals with professional experience, and a third level for individuals with management and leadership responsibilities in the respective field. Depending on your prior knowledge and professional experience, direct entry into the second or third qualification level is possible.

Each of the three levels has a different focus:

  • The first qualification level focuses on professional competencies and general interdisciplinary competencies (e.g., university law, financials, project management, communication skills). It is aimed at people who (usually after completing a doctorate) have 1-2 years of professional experience in the academic context and would like to develop their competencies in order to take on a responsible position in the future.
  • The second qualification level focuses on management competencies relevant to the respective track (e.g. change management, teamwork, agile project management). It is aimed at people who (usually after completing a doctorate) have a few years of professional experience and already bear responsibility for projects and resources, but usually do not yet hold a managerial position.
  • The third qualification level focuses on the advancement of leadership and management skills (personnel management, personnel selection, strategic management). It is aimed at individuals (usually with a completed doctorate) in management positions who have many years of professional experience in the academic environment and in-depth expert knowledge.

CareerDesign@TUM comprises formal training elements with a high proportion of self-learning phases. Individual qualification elements such as peer mentoring, job shadowing and on-the-job learning ensure transfer of training to the work context.

CareerDesign@TUM Board

The CareerDesign@TUM Board defines the admission and selection criteria and decides on the admission of applicants to the program. It fulfills a supervisory and control function and advises on the strategic development of CareerDesign@TUM. The Board is composed of representatives of professors, academic staff and central administration. It is chaired by the Senior Vice President for Talent Management and Diversity.
