Salary

Salaries of professors differ depending on the type of professorship: W 1 (Junior Professorship), W 2 and W 3 (all other professors and members of the university board). Basic salaries for W positions are specified in the Regulations on Remuneration of W Positions of the Federal Republic of Germany and the Federal States. The salary of professors consists of the basic salary, the family allowance, and variable merit-based bonuses.

Professors not subject to collective agreements are paid a non-tariff gross salary corresponding to that of a university professor of KIT with a civil servant status. Merit-based bonuses and research and teaching allowances for professors having the civil servant status are subject to the corresponding regulations.
