Career Development and Progress

The professional career development of the Academic Staff members and their involvement in research, affiliated with CTL Eurocollege, as well as their participation in research activities in collaboration with other Higher Education Institutions is highly encouraged by CTL Eurocollege management.

A career scale provides a detailed path of professional development progress of Ctl Faculty.

Evaluation of faculty for the ranking

An internal process is in place concerning the ranking evaluation of the faculty.  A committee that is comprised of the Academic Dean, the AF Director, the Head of Research and one faculty member (PhD holder) evaluates the prospective faculty member for job advancement.  The committee examines the candidates based on the criteria listed under each rank, prepares and submits a report.  The criteria include the number and the quality of the publications (H index factor), the academic journals, involvement in the community, professional initiatives in research, peer reviewing assignments and student project supervision. The college management takes a decision on the advancement and benefits of the prospective faculty member based on the Committee’s report.
