The boundaries between universities of applied sciences and universities in the binary higher education system in Germany have begun to blur. This is likely to affect the criteria for hiring professors, too. The article investigates whether or not there is a similarity of the relative weight universities of applied sciences and universities put on selection criteria in appointment procedures for professorships. This analysis is based on data of an online survey of heads of appointment committees from both types of organisations, focusing on the relevance the respondents have attached to 23 selection criteria
