The Appointment Portal at Leipzig University

The Leipzig University carries out appointment procedures with the help of a web-based appointment portal. In this way, all data required for the respective procedure can be collected, provided by the applicants on their own responsibility, recorded in full and optimally processed. This supports the work of the appointment committee and the appointment procedure can be carried out quickly while observing the procedural rules and complying with the relevant quality standards. The University attaches great importance to the protection of applicants' personal data.
