The OeAD lectureship programme is a mobility programme for teaching German language, Austrian literature and Austrian regional studies at universities abroad. Applications are open to graduates with a Magister/master’s degree in humanities and cultural studies.
The programme is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research and implemented by the OeAD, based on funding agreements with university departments and higher education institutions abroad.
Lectureships enable the establishment of sustainable relations between Austria and the host country through teaching activities lasting several years and thus constitute an important instrument of Austrian cultural and academic education in the higher education sector abroad.
Contents and goals
The OeAD lectureship programme includes much more than just promoting the German language and teaching Austrian regional studies at international host universities.
