Q: Is a formal teaching qualification required to apply for the position of lecturer?
A: No, this is not required. We initially consider whether your professional knowledge and competences fit the position. During the first few years, you will have the opportunity to enrol in a didactic study programme. Teaching qualification is often not required for part-time or temporary employment.

Q: Is a Master’s degree required to apply for the position of lecturer?
A: Yes, a higher academic education or an education at a university of applied sciences, in addition to a Master’s degree from a university of applied sciences, is a prerequisite for the position of lecturer. The study programmes at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences conduct practice-oriented research in collaboration with knowledge centres and associate professors. As a lecturer, you provide students with intensive guidance during practice-oriented research. This requires knowledge of research methods. That is why Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences requires that all lecturers have a Master’s degree when applying for a job or shortly after being hired.
