Research-artistic associates (Qualification positions) at the Kunsthochschule Kassel have the possibility to do an artistic or design qualification project. Registration for the artistic qualification is a prerequisite for consideration in the Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz [Academic Temporary Contract Act], which is the basis for the temporary nature of these qualification positions. The artistic qualification is certified with a document based on an original artistic or design qualification achievement, on its publication, and on a successful oral examination.
The procedure of artistic qualification is governed by the Bestimmungen für künstlerische Qualifikationen auf Qualifikationsstellen der Kunsthochschule Kassel.
