    The route there

If the company appoints no one, the business owner counts as the safety adviser.

    You teach and research at a university of applied sciences, for example in logistics and supply chain management. You pass professional practice on to students.

    Professional practice outside higher education is an appointment requirement. Years in leading supply chain responsibility provide it.

    The route there

    Further training and exam
    Under Art. 57 para. 3 BayHIG (applies in Bavaria) a professorship at a university of applied sciences requires a completed university degree, teaching aptitude, scientific or special artistic ability, and special achievements in applying or developing scientific findings and methods during at least five years of professional practice after your studies, at least three of them outside higher education. Deviations are possible in especially justified cases.
